GHANA

Status: National Chartered CDF

Established: July 1993, Accra, Ghana
Founding Co-ordinator: Seth Asare Newman

Inaugural AGM: August 1996
Current CDF Co-ordinator: Seth Asare Newman

CDF Ghana has found that dance is a very strong medium for reaching out with the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. Since January 1995, at least one evening every month Seth Newman and his group choose a popular spot in town, at which to perform both traditional and choreographed African dances to African music with Christian words. They continue to perform while an audience gathers, introducing each piece with a minute or two of comments on what the piece is about, if a traditional dance, telling them where the dance comes from. After about an hour's performance, in a five minutes' summary, an invitation is thrown to the crowd for those who as a result of what they have seen would want to give their lives to Jesus. It is always exciting to see the number of people who respond.

Prophecy: A road is there in front of you which is straight, narrow and bathed in light. The way will open up as you go step by step. Keep your focus on Jesus and his call.

		Formation Scripture:
	The parable of the mustard seed and the yeast – Matthew 13:31-33 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumbline in the hand of Zerubbabel" – Zech 4:8-10

KENYA

Status: Pre-Charter CDF – (PCCDF)

Established: July 1999, Nidhwa, Homa Bay Dist, Kenya
Founding Co-ordinators: Daniel and Christine Oyoko

CDF Kenya held their formation meeting under a shelter in the middle of a field not far from Lake Victoria in Western Kenya. The Committee of 11 men and 1 woman are led by Co-ordinators Daniel and Christine Oyoko, who have battled to run this CDF without phone, electricity or close transportation. Daniel and Christine have the vision to move to Nairobi, and while they wait on God for the right opportunities, they move in the areas close to their present home teaching and introducing CDFK.

The formation scripture was chosen after Daniel, Christine and Formation Co-ordinator Mary Jones all independently received a prophetic picture/movement of a seed growing into a big tree. Let us pray that there will be peace and unity with freedom and justice and that the rich natural and people resources will be used wisely and honestly for the betterment of the economy and a fairer distribution of wealth.

		Formation Scripture:
