THE MISSION
Sharing Christ.
Building lasting fellowship.
From 15 to 18 October 2026, Salvation To All Nations (STAN) partnered with Blessed Lands International Gospel Center (BLIG Center) for a four-day missions outreach in Kpalung, Northern Ghana. The purpose was to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, build relationships with the community and establish a church that would support continued evangelism and discipleship.
Prayer, ministry training, house-to-house visits, Christian film screenings and community activities formed part of the outreach. The mission concluded with a church planting service and a foundation for ongoing Christian fellowship in Kpalung.
ON THE GROUND
Four days.
Many ways to connect.
From early-morning prayer to evening Gospel meetings, the team combined proclamation with personal relationships.
01 / OUTREACH
A community welcome
The first group of ten team members arrived safely in Kpalung. Pastor Emmanuel of Blessed Lands International Gospel Center received the team, introduced them to the community and helped them become familiar with the mission field. Country Director Theophilus and Evangelist Emmanuel helped lead the outreach.
The team paid a courtesy visit to the Assembly Member, Honourable Sadique, who joined the local pastor and Country Director in welcoming them. These early engagements helped the team establish relationships with local leaders and begin the work with community support.
02 / OUTREACH
Grounded in prayer
Prayer remained central throughout the mission. On the second day, the team began an extended prayer session at about 4:00 a.m. and continued until morning, praying for Kpalung and committing the day’s activities to God. Morning devotions provided further opportunities for fellowship and spiritual encouragement.
Evangelist Emmanuel and Evangelist Dela trained the team in ministry in challenging communities, community entry, different forms of evangelism and practical approaches to one-on-one Gospel conversations. Director Theophilus also led a ministry teaching session on the third day. Together, these sessions strengthened the team’s preparation for effective outreach.
03 / OUTREACH
The Gospel in homes and on screen
Team members visited homes, spoke with residents, ministered to families and invited people to the evening Jesus Film Show. The visits created space for personal conversations about Jesus Christ. Some individuals responded to the Gospel and gave their lives to Him.
On the second day, the team screened a Jesus film in the local Dagbani language. A head count recorded approximately 350 people at the gathering. Evangelist Emmanuel followed the screening with a brief Gospel message and an invitation to respond. Some attendees made decisions to follow Christ.
The third day’s evangelistic meeting included a screening of Walking with Jesus, followed by another Gospel message from Evangelist Emmanuel. These gatherings offered further opportunities for the community to hear and respond to the message of Christ.
04 / OUTREACH
Friendship beyond the meeting
On the third day, the mission team organised a friendly football match with members of the community. The match ended in a 1–1 draw. The team also donated a football and packs of drinks to the local football team.
The activity encouraged friendship and goodwill. The report records that a majority of the local footballers attended Sunday’s church service. These relationships demonstrated the value of personal engagement alongside direct evangelism and opened opportunities for continued contact with the community.
SUNDAY · 18 OCTOBER 2026
The final day.
A new beginning.
One new church. A foundation for continued Christian ministry.
Sunday, 18 October 2026, marked both the final day of the outreach and the beginning of a new church in Kpalung. An estimated 150 people attended the church planting service.
Planted through the partnership between STAN and BLIG Center, the church provides a starting point for continued worship, prayer, teaching, fellowship and spiritual growth. After the service, the team distributed clothing items and drinks to attendees as an expression of care and appreciation.
The establishment of the church was a central outcome of the mission. Nurturing the congregation and supporting its continued growth are the next priorities.
COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS
A welcome.
An invitation to return.
Following the church planting service, the team visited the Chief of Kpalung to thank him for the community’s hospitality and support. They presented him with an audio Bible in Dagbani.
The Chief expressed appreciation for the visit and the effort to share the Gospel. He encouraged the team to consider making the mission a weekly activity and said he would listen to the audio Bible. His response provided encouragement for maintaining relationships with community leaders and exploring regular outreach.
