Global Ministries and Mid-America Region are consulting with partners in Ghana to learn about their availability to receive a delegation of 8-10 people from Mid-America in the spring of 2021 (late April-May). There is strong interest in visiting Larry and Debbie Colvin our Mission Co-Workers serving there, and learning more about the Evangelical Presbyterian Church and Peki Seminary in Ho as well as the Health Clinic where Debbie is serving. Approximate cost will be from $3,500-$3,800 (double accommodation), as it depends on the length of stay and program.

If you have interest in going, please let Regional Minister Ron Routledge know at ron.ccma@sbcglobal.net He will share with you the following documents to read as you prayerfully consider your participation:

Guide for Participants
Culture Gram of Ghana
Two Articles

In addition, this is a helpful book list:
