The Nanumba people, an ethnic group in the Northern Region of Ghana, are experiencing a wave of transformation through dedicated missionary efforts. This month, the outreach programs led by Sampson Tilako and Barnabas Koyaja have brought remarkable change to communities in Bimbila, Lantor, and beyond.
Sampson Tilako, a missionary working among the Nanumba people, has been stationed in Bimbila with his wife and three children. His recent outreach program featured a presentation of the Jesus film in the villages of Sadaando, Likpalntab, and Damanko. This initiative proved to be life-changing, drawing a total of 668 attendees, with 228 individuals committing their lives to Christ.
As a result of his efforts, the Gospel has taken root in these communities, leading to the establishment of four house churches and three official churches. These new fellowships provide a place for discipleship, community support, and continued spiritual growth.
Another devoted missionary, Barnabas Koyaja, was trained at our Missionary Training School and has been working among the Nanumba people in Lantor. Married with three children, Barnabas is actively engaging with the community, sharing the Gospel with 214 individuals this month. Out of these, 61 people accepted Christ, and 11 individuals were baptized, marking a new chapter in their spiritual journey.
The Nanumba people, a subgroup of the Mole-Dagbani ethnic family, primarily reside in the Nanumba South and North Districts of Ghana’s Northern Region. They share linguistic and cultural ties with the Dagombas, Mamprusi, and other ethnic groups in the region.
Religion: A blend of Christianity and traditional African beliefs is prevalent, with many communities embracing the Gospel in recent years.
The establishment of new churches and the growing number of new believers are a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel. With dedicated missionaries like Sampson Tilako and Barnabas Koyaja, the Nanumba people are not only hearing the Word but are also experiencing a tangible shift in their lives.
