Bible Bridge Ghana and Barnabas Aid Partner to Enhance Children's Ministry Training in Northern Regions

Bible Bridge Ghana, in collaboration with Barnabas Aid International, has successfully concluded a comprehensive capacity-building program designed to empower Sunday School teachers, teen ministry workers, and pastors across four regions in Northern Ghana. Hosted in Tamale, the workshop brought together religious educators from the Northern, Upper East, North East, and Savannah regions to address the specific challenges of spiritual education for children. The initiative serves as a strategic response to a notable shortage of age-appropriate Bible materials and specialized training for those tasked with the spiritual development of the youth in these communities.

The training was led by Reverend Emmanuel Foster Asamoah of Pentecost University, who focused on the importance of pedagogical contextualization. Rev. Asamoah urged participants to adapt teaching materials to suit the local cultural and social realities of their students, arguing that such relevance is crucial for both spiritual growth and academic understanding. By equipping ministry workers with these specialized skills, Bible Bridge Ghana aims to bridge the gap between traditional Sunday School methods and the modern needs of children, particularly those in rural and underserved areas who may face unique socio-economic hurdles.

This northern regional training is a key component of Bible Bridge Ghana’s wider mission, which has already impacted over 45,000 people across the country's 16 regions. The organization’s efforts extend beyond training to include the distribution of targeted literature to vulnerable groups. Building on this momentum, the group has officially announced a nationwide Children’s Bible Awareness Day, slated for May 23, 2026. This future milestone is intended to consolidate the gains made through regional workshops and galvanize national support for accessible, child-friendly biblical education throughout Ghana.
