Prayer Focus Stories
Avatime of Ghana
The Avatime people are primarily subsistence farmers living in traditional settlements scattered in the mountainous southeastern region of Ghana also known as the southern Volta region. People here were introduced to Christianity about 100 years ago, and churches were established. But traditional religion, with spirit possession, is widely practiced alongside Christianity, and believers often mix the religious practices together.
