The journey of missions began in a season where Rev Nii John Garshong had no intention of missions or knowledge that God was going to use him in that area of ministry for that matter, although he had studied and read about the field.  Without the slightest knowledge of Gods calling on his life for missions, he was by Gods design privileged to visit the town of Sogakofe in the year 1976, on a random friendly visit by the invitation of a dear friend the then Brother Maxwell Amewokpor now retired Apostle of the Church of Pentecost whom he had met during his University days. 

The random visit to a town he had never seen and it’s quiet and neat scenery, led to a 21 day fast that opened the door to Gods leading to embark on a mini crusade in the said town Sogakofe. God mysteriously wove Rev Nii John Garshong into the world of missions with this mini crusade that initially saw just children showing up to the crusade he had fully armed himself for. Despite the disappointment of children only, he still persisted to obey the will of God and delivered the word God had ordained for him to preach. The miracle unfolded as he got to the altar call part of his message which surprisingly saw the town folk coming out of the dark to give their lives to Jesus Christ. What a sight and a wonder it was. 

Their friendship grew from brothers in Christ to organiser and speaker as Rev Nii John and Brother Maxwell embarked on another crusade dubbed “MISSION 77” in the early part of the year 1977. After successfully executing “MISSION 77” they proceeded to Sogakofe Secondary school where they invaded the school with Holy Spirit baptism sessions in their dining hall and other spirit filled encounters remembered till this day. Sogakofe Secondary School saw God move mightily especially in the area of evangelistic seminars and missions.

The likes of Mrs Anne Marie Buxton Tetteh was a student  at the Sogakofe Secondary School who later came down to Accra to join the team and is an eye witness to how mightily the Lord moved in Sogakofe. Lots of help was also received from Madam Fransisca Afanu now working at Sherfield NHS in England, not forgetting sister Elizabeth Bampoe and sister Happy Kporku who served tirelessly yet wholeheartedly. Kudos and a massive Thank you to major names who stood strong with Rev Nii John Garshong and Bro Maxwell including his mother and his auntie who helped however they could to push toward the success of Sogakofe missions.

The pillars that helped with organizing and evangelizing respectively and also welcomed Nii John and his team and worked hand in hand to execute the missions to the teeth are The likes of Brother Ernest Ajewu now Apostle Ernest Agyewu residing in Ho, and Jocelyn Hoh now Reverend Dr Joseline Fugar a Counsellor and preacher who also aided in the mission journeys and her father Mr Hoh who took his time to take Rev Nii John Garshong through Ewe lessons to equip him to communicate better in a land he had no idea he would be called to can never be forgotten. God works in mysterious ways.

Rev Nii John Garshong broke the grounds for others to enter freely into a land that had been seen as untouchable. He didn't do this alone. The strong team God blessed him with, which were mostly Christian students at the time, were trained to become intercessors, singers and counsellors. Thy were the Accra team that stood behind him and made missions possible.
