Meet Emmanuel Anukun-Dabson
Emmanuel is the Executive Director of Christian Outreach Fellowship (COF) in Ghana, Africa. COF is the first indigenous mission agency in Ghana, and has been in operation for the last 45 years. COF’s mission is to “Restore dignity to the lost which is the purpose of the redemptive work of Christ.” They do this by outreach missions to unreached people in Africa, providing audio bibles and Discovery Bible Study training and resources, and any social and economic interventions as the Lord provides. TRC Ministries has been partnering with COF since 2015 to plant churches, train church leaders and bring social transformation in the rural areas of Ghana.
TRC Ministries’ involvement in Ghana started as a result of a young man named Kwame. Dave Schonberg met Kwame in the Douglas County Jail where Kwame, after faithfully attended every bible study, became a believer in Jesus. For well over a year, he was detained by immigration authorities, when eventually he was deported back to his home country of Ghana, Africa.
But the transformative truth he had experienced in jail would not remain silent. Kwame asked for a bible so that he could share the gospel to his native Ghanaians. When asked what language the people in his area spoke, Kwame replied they spoke several languages: Ga, Hausa, Ewe, and Tsi. We ordered 4 “Proclaimer” audio bibles and sent them to Kwame.
The audio bibles proved to be a great hit. When Kwame asked for more, we sent ten more.
Together with COF, we have distributed over 500 audio bibles reaching over 120,000 people. In 2019, we saw 48 new churches planted in areas that are primarily Muslim. But more than simple distribution, we have over 200 trained workers who return regularly to check on each bible to make sure it is being used, make sure it is being shared, and to answer questions and encourage the believers in the villages.
If you would like to help support this ministry, please consider donating financially and subscribing to our newsletter to receive updates and prayer requests from Ghana.
