SDA Church boosts rural evangelism with motorbike donation
As part of its 75th anniversary celebrations, the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church has intensified its evangelistic efforts by donating five rugged motorcycles to support outreach in hard-to-reach rural communities.
The motorbikes, handed over during a brief ceremony, are expected to significantly enhance the church’s capacity to spread the gospel in remote areas where transportation remains a major barrier.
The initiative was made possible through the support of Quiet Hour Ministries, a U.S.-based Seventh-day Adventist mission organisation renowned for advancing global evangelism through strategic partnerships and outreach support.
Speaking at the ceremony, the President of the North Ghana Mission of the SDA Church,
Pastor George Kossi-Ekao Amouzou, expressed heartfelt appreciation for the donation.
“We are truly grateful to Quiet Hour Ministries for this timely and generous support,” he said. “These motorcycles will significantly enhance our ability to reach remote areas with the gospel message, strengthening our mission to spread hope and salvation to every corner of our territory.”
Pastor Amouzou noted that the donation reflects the church’s unwavering commitment to spiritual growth and community impact, especially during this anniversary year marked by outreach and reflection.
Quiet Hour Ministries, headquartered in Redlands, California, has supported mission work in over 130 countries through donations, equipment, and short-term mission trips aimed at reaching unreached and underserved populations, he said.
Church officials stated that the motorcycles would be immediately deployed to pastors and lay evangelists working in the field, especially in rural districts where poor road infrastructure often hampers travel.
