Missionary Life in Ghana: Real, Raw, and Anything But Boring
When you hear the phrase “missionary life in Ghana,” what comes to mind? Quiet jungle paths and handwritten Bible lessons by lantern light? Maybe. But there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. Missionary life is a daily adventure full of vibrant culture, meaningful ministry, unexpected challenges, and God-sized victories—and we want to bring you along for every step of the journey.
At consfords.com, we’re committed to sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what missionary life in Ghana really looks like. Our blog will feature daily updates once we land in West Africa—packed with stories, photos, and insight into our ministry and family life. And trust us, it’s anything but boring.
Life on Mission: Ghana-Style
Our family is returning to the field with full hearts and open hands. Missionary life in Ghana includes:
- Discipleship and evangelism in remote villages and busy cities
- Church planting alongside local believers hungry for truth
- Bible institute classes training national pastors and leaders
- Outreach to schools and youth, sharing the Gospel with the next generation
- Everyday life—buying vegetables at the market, navigating power outages, and maybe even dodging a goat or two
We’ll write about all of it. Because missionary life in Ghana is not a tourist postcard—it’s real life lived on purpose for God’s glory.

Support Through Every Cup and Stay
You might be wondering how this all gets funded. Well, a big part of our support comes from the businesses we operate right here in East Texas. Every cup of coffee and every night booked helps move the Gospel forward in Ghana.
- ☕ HOTS Coffee in San Augustine is our drive-through coffee shop serving up amazing drinks and fast service.
- 🛌 Bland Lake Hideaway offers peaceful stays in the Piney Woods—and a portion of every booking supports our missions work.
- 🏠 Central Baptist Church in Center, TX is our home church, sending us out with love, prayer, and support.
When you buy a coffee or book a weekend getaway, you’re playing a part in missionary life in Ghana. How cool is that?
Why We Blog About It All
Some people ask why we post daily updates. The answer is simple: transparency and encouragement. We want people to see the reality of missions—not just the polished prayer letter version.
- When a village opens up to the Gospel—we’ll write about it.
- When the generator breaks again and the heat rises—we’ll write about it.
- When a child hears about Jesus for the first time—we’ll write about it.
