Jonathan Adjabeng Padi, a native of Manya Krobo was born on June 16, 1971. Despite being
raised in a Presbyterian home, he came to know the Lord in 1989, when he accepted a
friend’s invitation to attend a Christmas Eve event at the New Testament Baptist Church.
He said, “For the very first time l heard a clear presentation of the gospel, and trusted
Christ as my Lord and Savior.”

HIS GOAL
Jonathan has a burden for Ghana. His desire is to plant churches throughout the region
and establish Bible colleges to train his brethren. As a Ghanian, he has a great
understanding of the people and their potential as servants of God. Jonathan believes that
the effective way to reach Ghana is to plant churches that will become autonomous and
missions-hearted, and thus, not perpetually dependent on foreign support. Ghana needs
churches like these. Ghana needs men like Dr. Jonathan Adjabeng.
With God’s hand, there is a bright future for Ghana
