Diversity of Ghanaian Diaspora in the U.S.A.: Ministering to the Diverse Ghanaian Communities through Ghanaian Congregation

Enoch Wan and Yaw Attah Edu-Bekoe. Ghanaian community in the United States is culturally and generationally diverse, which creates both opportunities and challenges. Ministry challenges require confronting cultural, linguistic, and generational diversity in the midst of multicultural society. Ministry opportunities also exist, as Ghanaian congregations are founded, motivated, and mobilized for mission. In the end, ethnic networks can be used to reach beyond the US, back to the native land of the Ghanaians diaspora. The purposes of this paper are: 1) to provide an ethnographic description of the cultural and generational diversity among Ghanaian diaspora in the US, and 2) to explain the missiological dimensions of ministry to Ghanaian communities through Ghanaian diaspora congregations in the US.
