Northern
Outreach Program (PFF — Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship)
The Presbyterian Church of Ghana started the Northern Outreach Program in 1989 as an outreach to the many non-evangelized people from northern Ghana who had migrated to the south. Today over 3,000 of these former Northerners worship in 50 full-fledged congregations and 11 preaching points. Most are new converts from traditional religions and come from a number of different ethnic groups. Worship and teaching is done in the language of the particular group. In addition to evangelism and church planting, other programs, such as job training and health education, are in place to meet physical and social needs. | |
