New Leadership, New Heights:
How 14 Leaders, 336 Churches, and 21,394 Members Navigated Change and Emerged Stronger
Introduction: A Year of Transition and Triumph
Twenty twenty-five will forever be remembered in GlobeServe Ministries International as the “Year of Witnesses to The Nations.” It was a year that could have been defined by uncertainty, with new leadership taking the helm of a 336-church network spanning Ghana. Instead, it became a testament to God’s faithfulness and the power of unified vision.
Under new leadership, GlobeServe Missionary Church not only navigated the challenges of transition but emerged stronger, more unified, and more effective in advancing the Kingdom of God across Ghana.
This is the story of how intentional leadership development, clear structure, strategic training, and faithful coordination produced extraordinary results in a year of change.
