 WEST AFRICA
comprises 15 countries. Lampstands have been established in 6 of them (Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Sierre Leone, Togo and Benin) with 54 lampstands and approximately 2700 saints. There are saints in Burkina Faso pursuing the ministry and our prayer is that the Lord will recover the lampstand in Liberia. |

Africa Ministry Depot (Ghana)/ Ghana Gospel Bookroom The Africa Ministry Depot (AMD) Ghana was officially registered in May 2019 and began its operations in June 2019. In December 2019, over 90000 books including 178 different titles were purchased by AMD and shipped to Ghana and are now available for sale to the saints and hungry ones through the subsidiary of AMD, the Ghana Gospel Bookroom. The outward restriction in movement due to the pandemic opened up a new avenue for publicising our books through online platforms. This has proven to be an even more effective mode to reach a diverse demographic of people and increase their awareness of the availability of this rich ministry. Currently, our Facebook page is followed by over 22,000 people, who see all the updates about new book titles as they are posted every week. Videos advertising various ministry books are posted weekly to both our Facebook and Instagram pages.  Literature Distribution AMD, in fellowship with the churches in Ghana, set apart 117 471 copies of the Holy Word for Morning Revival and 22 757 copies of the Ministry of the Word for free mass distribution in Ghana. From 28 January to 6 March, 130 781 books were distributed across 7 regions in Ghana. Some regions in the country have begun to seek progressive follow up and shepherding of the seeking ones into the ministry of the age, with a view to raising up new lampstands. The Lord is also strengthening His move in other West African countries through literature distribution. We hope that the unparalleled riches of this ministry will be brought to many hungry and seeking ones in West Africa as a whole. |

 NIGERIANo. of localities: 16 No. of saints in church life: 850 No. of saints attending the Table meeting: 750  The pandemic has turned out to be a blessing to the saints in Nigeria. At the beginning of the lockdown, only Lagos and Abuja were on total lockdown; the saints there started meeting virtually. The young people in Nigeria were able to participate in the European Young People’s Conference held online this year. The saints also participated in all the conferences and trainings. All these were made possible due to the pandemic.
In addition, the Life-study broadcast in Lagos used to be able to reach only five states within Western Nigeria. The saints have been burdened to get the broadcast to the rest of the states in Nigeria, but the radio station which broadcasts the program had refused to cooperate. The Lord opened a way during the pandemic – the air space was opened and the radio station started airing via a URL. This method of broadcasting made it possible for the program to be made available beyond the initial five states. Now, the Life-study broadcast can reach all over the country without any additional fee. |

 BURKINA FASO No. of saints in church life: 8 No lampstands yet.  In this landlocked country, there are 8 saints now enjoying the ministry – six of them in the city of Koudougou, and two in Ouagadougou. During the pandemic, they have continued their enjoyment of the ministry together. Saints in Koudougou meet on Thursdays in the homes and sometimes also on Lord’s Day afternoons to pray for the Lord’s move in Burkina Faso. The two brothers in Ouagadougou also pursue ministry books together. The saints also have been receiving the supply from the Body. With the encouragement of the brothers in Ghana, the saints have participated in online perfecting. Two saints took part in this year’s European Young People’s Conference and three saints joined the West African Perfecting Training (WAPT). One saint also participated in the Autumn Online Training of the Amana Trust on 31 October. Please pray that the Lord will strengthen the existing saints in Koudougou and in Ouagadougou, and that the Lord may gain many more seeking ones for His testimony. |

 WEST AFRICA PERFECTING TRAINING (WAPT) From 17-20 August the annual West Africa Perfecting Training was held online. Participants were perfected on the intrinsic significance of Samuel – The Nazarite. As compared to previous years, we witnessed an increase in the number of saints and countries participating through virtual means. Saints in West Africa had the opportunity to blend with some saints from East Africa. In total, 439 saints from 12 different countries in East and West Africa participated in the training. We praise the Lord for His timely speaking and sovereign arrangement during this time of the pandemic. |
