Presbyterian Church of Ghana
The Presbyterian Church in Ghana was established 150 years ago. Since World War II it has been able to establish a pension fund for retired pastors, but that fund is not sufficient to care for spouses of pastors who have died. The church has asked the PC(USA) to help in any way it can to nourish this fund. |
