The Church of the Province of West Africa is one of the fastest growing provinces of the Anglican Communion. The catholic faith is taught in all of its fullness and the churches are filled. In Ghana, in particular, the church is growing so rapidly that the country is likely to become an independent province of the Anglican Communion in the near future.

This page contains basic overview information about the way that the church in West Africa in general and in Ghana in particular is growing in faith and improving the daily living conditions of thousands of people.

A particularly urgent project at present is the completion of a house for Archbishop Okine upon his retirement in December of 2003. Like many Africans educated in the U.S. and Europe, the Archbishop could have turned his back on his country and made a life for himself abroad. Instead, he accepted his calling to serve others. As priest, seminary rector, and bishop he has given of himself freely. Now he and his family need a home to call their own.
