Ghana Mission

In 2008 FCCW entered a covenantal relationship with with Kpenoe (pronounced, penway) Ghana. We live out our covenant with the village by sending members to the village and supporting Amenyo Foundation which raises funds for student scholarships and supplies, health and maternity care, and the local leper colony.

... "Here, abroad, and in a special way with the people of Kpenoe, Ghana, we commit ourselves to the ministries of preaching the good news, binding up the brokenhearted, freeing the captives and proclaiming the year of the Lord's favor" from FCCW Mission Covenant

Adopted by the Church Council and ratified by the congregation of the First Congregational Church, Wolfeboro in worship during the 2008 visit of Prosper and Angelica Attakey.

FCCW raises funds for student scholarships through The Batik Boutique group. They make handmade bags with Ghanian batik fabric. 100% of the proceeds benefit scholarships for Ghanian students. The group meets on Friday mornings in the chapel on the 2nd level from 9:30 - 1:00 pm. Anyone interested in joining contact us. New members are always welcome! No sewing experience required and sewers with machines welcome too.

FCCW supports mission trips to Ghana through the Amenyo Foundation. Travelers can look forward to meaningful engagements with the Paramount Chief, the Paramount Queen Mother, and the elders of Kpenoe, as they renew friendships and deepen connections. The journey includes visits to local schools, clinics, the Cured Lepers Village, and artisans across the Volta Region.

Participants will spend time with the people of Kpenoe and Takla to assess community needs and explore how Amenyo can best offer support. A key focus will be on identifying ways to assist in education and healthcare for men, women, and children in these villages.

This journey of faith, discovery, and friendship will be enriched by opportunities to experience and appreciate the vibrant culture of the Ewe people. Highlights will also include worshiping with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church and meeting current and former Amenyo scholars.
