Wuni Family (Ghana)
Isaac Issah Wuni and his wife Grace Azara Wuni live in Tamale, Ghana. Tamale is about four hundred and fifty miles north of Accra the capital. The northern part of Ghana has two seasons in the year – Raining season and Dry season. Inhabitants are basically peasant farmers who farm to cater for themselves. It is also an economically deprived area. Even though there are some African Traditional Religion adherents, Islam dominates the area. So we are working in the midst of Muslim dominated communities.
Isaac and Grace are parents of a minimum of fifteen children who live in their home. Some
are foster children, while others come to stay for a short time to write their exams and go. Through this they are able to evangelise the Muslim children among them who come to live with them. However they have two biological children out of the lot – Zechariah (19) and Erika (16). Zechariah is in his fourth year Senior High School while Erika is waiting to enter first
year Senior High School in September 2011, God willing.
Grace has been out of job for three years now as a result of the motor accident she had in 2007 when she broke her leg. Their need at present is for her to have some finances to help her establish her own business.

Koinonia Baptist Church, Tamale - “One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism” (Eph. 4:5).
Isaac is senior pastor for Koinonia Baptist Church in Tamale. Koinonia was born four years ago after an unfortunate circumstance (which turned to be a blessing) which happened to Isaac while he was pastor of the First Baptist Church in Tamale. Isaac became pastor of the church after his predecessor who had led the church for over thirty years went on retirement.
Northern Ghana Baptist Theological Seminary (Isaac is Principal of the Seminary)
In addition to planting churches, Isaac and Grace also have the strong conviction of training leaders for the service of God. They have done this for the past twelve years and continue to do so. Leadership development is very important to church growth and development.
Church Planting Activities
Eight months after we started Koinonia, the Lord led us to start a church in a traditional community in the suburb of Tamale. A member from this community, also the leader of “warriors” for that community was touched by the burial sermon, and he gave his life to Christ. This man became the bridge to bringing the gospel to that community.
