updates from the mission field
Training hub opens as Christianity in Global South 'thrives'
Mission has traditionally been seen as "from the West to the rest". But in Ghana, there's a different story playing out – and it's one that BMS World Mission is thrilled to be part of.
As a young Christian, Ghanaian Kwame Adzam dreamed of being involved in sharing the gospel. These days, he heads up BMS World Mission’s Heart for the Gospel ministry, building strong evangelism and discipleship programmes. But he also had another, more specific dream: "When I became a believer, I was thinking, 'When will Ghana send mission workers to other places?'" he remembers. "I've always been praying, 'Lord, would you open the doors for the Global South church so we can become significant partners in fulfilling your mission?'"
New Bible translated after 37-year wait
Luke Randall
A people group of 6,000 in Ghana is celebrating its own Bible – which took 37 years to complete.
The Koma translation has now been printed 5,000 times since it was finished in March.
Poverty: How faith moves mountains
On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (17 October 2025), we are reminded that the fight against poverty is not just a policy issue or a humanitarian goal, it’s our Biblical mandate.
Around the world, churches are not only preaching hope; they are living it. In communities where poverty seems insurmountable, the church is often the first to respond, the last to leave and the most persistent in believing that change is possible.
