Ghana was the first country to adopt the Pan-African colors. Red represents the blood of freedom fighters, yellow the mineral riches of the area, and green the forests. The black star represents the lodestar of African freedom.

GMC Flags of the Nations: Ghana
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Global Ministry Center
Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.
This week: Ghana
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Ghana in 1990.
Ghana had a population of 24,791,073 in 2011. That same year, Ghana reported 98 Churches of the Nazarene, 31 of which had been officially organized. Ghana has 6,565 total members.
Ghana is on the Africa Region. It has three Phase 1 districts.
For more information about the Africa Region, visit africanazarene.org.

NOTE: Some countries cannot be represented in this project in order to maintain security of those working there.
* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.
The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
