Twenty-eight final year students of the University of Ghana, have pledged to take up National Service postings to remote parts of the country, in order to support and help sustain Theovision’s missionary activities in those deprived communities.

They would thus become part of Theovision’s Gospel army of dedicated young men and women helping to take the word of God to unreached parts of Ghana in obedience to the Great Commission.

The students made the solemn commitment during this year’s Missions Conference at the University of Ghana, organised by Theovision International’s Tertiary Students Ministry (TTSM) in conjunction with the Ghana Fellowship of Evangelical Students (GHAFES), and the Legon Inter-denominational Church (LIC).

The conference, which is organised each year by Theovision International’s tertiary wing, is designed to challenge final year students of the University to accept National Service postings to remote parts of the country (where they would ordinarily not be inclined to go) in order to take the Gospel to unreached communities.  

Speaking on the theme: "The Passion of Christ, Our Fuel for Missions,’’ Apostle Ellis Cofie, Pastor of the Harvest City Church, challenged the students to take advantage of the opportunity being created by Theovision International and its partners to engage in fruitful missions.

‘’Many Christians are clinging to earthly opportunities, rather than focusing on the love of God. Materialism chokes fruitfulness, and makes you high-minded and lifted up,’’ he said.

Apostle called on the students to focus on the Lord and on soul winning since that is what really matters. ‘’What shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and loses his soul,’’ he asked?    

In a short address, the Vice President of Theovision International, Mr. Theodore Philip Asare, hoped the Conference would energise the students to be witnesses for Christ wherever they find themselves.

He said out of about 900 unreached people groups in Africa, Ghana has 19. It is Theovision’s prayer therefore, that the conference would rekindle the passion and the willingness of the students to run with the Gospel towards the redemption of God’s creation.  

In an interview with Theovision Media after the event, Abigail Tsikata, one of the participants said she was exceedingly blessed by the program. She said she was fascinated by the depth of the love of God as expounded by the Speaker. She asked for God’s help to put what she has learned to good use.  

Other Speakers included Rev. Ibrahim Baidoo of the Legon Inter-denominational Church (LIC), and Rev. Eric Wussah of Theovision International.  

The Missions Conference is held every year to provoke final year university students to take up National Service postings to isolated, often inaccessible parts of Ghana as missionaries to help sustain Theovision’s activities in these areas.
