The Republic of Ghana, is located in West Africa, bounded by Burkina Faso, Togo, the Gulf of Guinea, and the Ivory Coast. Mostly tropical lowland plains, it is bisected by the river Volta and the center of Ghana is dominated by Lake Volta.

Ghana has been independent from Britain since 1957. After much travail, Ghana held their first multi-party elections in 1992. A series of economic, natural, and social calamities reached a climax in 1983/84. This created a spiritual hunger among the people which led to revival and church growth in many areas. Over 64% of the Ghanaians call themselves Christian, with only 40% having any link with a church and only 12% are regular church attenders.
