Nnoboa’ mission concept : a proposal for strategic cost-effective mission and church planting in Ghanaian communities

Abstract

This article made a case for the use of a cooperative mission approach for mission and Church planting. The nnoboa mission concept was developed from cooperative farming which thrives through trust, communality, and reciprocity. The paper argues that the church (body of Christ) is endowed with spiritual, physical, material and social capital that when brought together can help various local churches to achieve their missional agenda. The article discusses the nnoboa concept and the nnoboa mission concept. The concept was further discussed in light of the early church’s communal living as well as how the ‘nnoboa’ mission concept can be used for cost effective mission and church planting. Although the purpose of the article is to propose a missional model for churches in Ghana, its implementation can be adopted by churches in other parts of the world.
