Local pastors use the dramas to establish new preaching stations in unchurched villages and towns. Radio is becoming an increasingly important media outreach tool in Ghana. Strict regulations prohibiting the broadcast of religious programs on the national radio station have been changed, and a number of private radio stations have been started. Both of these radio programs are being produced in local languages for broadcast on FM stations in various regions of the country. Video is also becoming an effective ministry outreach tool.
Video tapes are very popular for use by local congregations in rural areas.
This video exposure has resulted in a large number of viewer responses who request help in knowing more about Christ. Originally called the Gold Coast by European traders, Ghana lies almost in the center of the countries along the Gulf of Guinea, on the west coast of Africa. The first Europeans to arrive in Ghana were the Portuguese. The Danish, Dutch and British also settled in Ghana. Eventually, the British gained control of the trade and coastal forts, and extended their rule across the entire country.
