Why Takoradi? A City in Need of the Gospel
Takoradi, located in western Ghana, is more than just a coastal city—it’s a place with real spiritual needs and wide-open doors for the gospel. The Consford family has embraced mission work in Takoradi Ghana as a calling, not just a trip. With its growing population and mix of urban life and traditional roots, Takoradi is ripe for church planting and discipleship.
The Hope of Africa Baptist Ministry Connection
Our mission journey in Ghana wouldn’t be possible without the faithful partnership of Hope of Africa Baptist Ministry, led by Pastor James Ruckman. Through this powerful partnership, we’ve seen villages reached, churches planted, and hearts transformed. The vision is clear: train national pastors, plant local churches, and equip believers to carry on the mission.
We encourage you to visit their website to learn how you can support or pray for this ministry.

A Heart for Church Planting in Ghana
One of our key goals is church planting in Ghana, and Takoradi is a vital part of that strategy. Our mission isn’t to create spectators—it’s to make disciples. That means building strong, independent, local churches pastored by trained Ghanaians.
We believe missions should always be about partnership, not paternalism. That’s why we’re so proud to be sent out by our home church, Central Baptist Church in Center, TX—a church with a heart for missions. Their faithful support enables us to focus on the work without distraction.
