In a landmark collaboration, World Vision Ghana, the Church of Pentecost, A Rocha, Challenge Enterprise, and the Akrofi‑Christaller Institute have launched a National Creation Care Framework to equip churches with biblical and practical tools for environmental stewardship.
The framework—introduced under the banner “A Call to Action: The Church in Creation”—was unveiled alongside the first training cohort of faith leaders, who will apply theology to real‑world climate challenges affecting vulnerable children and communities.
Jean‑Claude Mukadi, World Vision Ghana’s National Director, described the launch as “historic,” emphasizing that caring for creation is central to the Christian mandate (Genesis 2:15). The document offers churches clear pathways for climate action, ecological justice, and sustainable development.
Apostle Eric Nyamekye of the Church of Pentecost (speaking via a prepared address) stressed that rampant deforestation, water pollution, and unchecked human activity demand a faith‑driven response. “Our mission now includes restoring God’s creation to its intended glory,” he said, calling on congregations to integrate environmental care into worship and discipleship.
Rev. Prof. Ebenezer Yaw Blasu of the Akrofi‑Christaller Institute highlighted the framework’s African perspective, designed to align diverse church initiatives and empower the next generation with climate literacy.
Attendees—including denominational heads, Christian Council representatives, and EPA officials—left with a unified vision: to transform pulpits into platforms for climate advocacy and turn congregations into communities of restoration.
