About GHAFES
The Ghana Fellowship of Evangelical Students (GHAFES) is a national movement of tertiary Christian students and young graduates who are well-equipped to be effective witnesses for Jesus Christ and agents of change, establishing Godly impact wherever they are found.
GHAFES as a ministry was borne out of the missionary zeal of young graduates from the University and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) of the United Kingdom.
These young graduates had been challenged and inspired by the leadership of their Movement to pursue their careers in emerging independent African States as their mission fields and with the mind of missions.
Being encouraged by this, they took up teaching appointments in the three universities; University of Science and Technology, now Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University College of Cape Coast now the University of Cape Coast, and the University of Ghana, Legon, with the goal of developing not only the intellects of the students but their hearts as well.
This, they achieved by inviting them into their homes for fellowships, and out of these small group fellowships, GHAFES emerged.
