Ghana is an English-speaking country located on the southern coastline of West Africa. The population is 63% Christian, while 18% are still unreached. While more than half of Ghanaians consider themselves Christian, many have underdeveloped faith that is being influenced by traditional African religions. Muslims are participating in aggressive outreach in the country as well. Thankfully, native Christians have made a great effort to evangelize the unreached. Youth are open to the Gospel and represent 40% of the population; this gives hope to the churches. Also, there are a number of Biblical training institutions, which is a great blessing.
