The Organisation

We are the first indigenous non-denominational Ghanaian Mission Agency

At a Scripture Union Easter House Party (Retreat) in 1974 the course of evangelization in Ghana was forever altered. Christian church leaders met and on this historical occasion came to the realization that something drastic had to be done if the people of Ghana were ever to be reached for Christ. From this meeting came the idea of a Ghanaian missionary sending organization that would reach out throughout the country and evangelize the unreached people groups of Ghana living in deprived area. This vision was realized through the formation of Christian Outreach Fellowship (COF), an indigenous non-denominational, Ghanaian Mission agency with the mandate to reach people who have little or no access to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

To this end, we work in very deprived communities sharing the Bread of Life on one hand and helping in community development on the other hand.
 
Mr. William Ofori Atta (one of the ‘Big Six’) was a founding member of COF and later became its first National Director. Other founding members include: Rev. Dr. Isaac Ababio, Dr. D.O. Gyane, Madam Regina Addae, Dr. Nathaniel Sodzi, Mr. Ransford Senavoe, Mrs. Juliana Senavor, Prof. Nii Adjiri Wellington and others.

Our Vision

We envisage a Ghana fully reached with the Gospel in every deprived community and a continent brightly lit by the redeeming love of Christ, with the evidence of visibly transformed lives influencing their world in godliness.

Our Mission

Planting churches among the unreached through evangelism, discipleship and social action and instilling a mission DNA in the Ghanaian Church to reach the unreached.

Our Future

COF ministry remains resolute to keep reaching the unreached in Ghana and to do so in other countries in the sub-region, which have yet to receive the light of the Gospel.

Our Values

  • Faith & Love
  • Service
  • Transformation

Where We Work

COF ministry’s head office is located at Mampong-Akwapim in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The ministry has an effective administrative structure with a management team led by its Executive Director.

From a humble beginning of six pioneer indigenous missionaries, COF has grown over the years with a current missionary workforce of 167 ministering to a total of 14 people groups mainly in Northern Ghana, namely: Fulani (Fufulde), Birifor, Lobi, Wala, Tamprusi, Mamprusi, Kokomba, Kasem, Gonja, Frafra, Kusaal, Builsa, Dagaaba, and Dagomba.

We have, by the grace of God, planted over one thousand churches among the unreached and less privileged people groups, mostly in Ghana’s Northern Regions. We have also established five (5) schools (Primary & JHS) in the North, with a population of over one thousand five hundred pupils.
