The Twi-speaking diaspora
The Ghanaian diaspora in the UK is the largest Ghanaian community outside Africa, concentrated particularly in London (Southwark, Lewisham, Croydon, and Hackney) but also in cities including Manchester, Birmingham, and Coventry. Ghanaian churches are among the most numerous and vibrant African-diaspora congregations in the UK, with significant presence also in US cities including New York, Washington DC, and Columbus, Ohio. First-generation Ghanaians often prefer to receive the sermon in Twi even when they have working English.
Bible availability in Twi
The Twi Bible (Asante Twi: Baybirim) is published by Bible Society of Ghana and is widely known in Ghanaian Christian communities. Multiple Akan/Twi Bible translations exist covering Asante Twi and Fante dialects.
Using Voco for Twi church translation
Ghanaian diaspora churches range from large Pentecostal assemblies (Church of Pentecost, Assemblies of God Ghana, Action Chapel) to mainline Presbyterian and Methodist congregations. Services may be conducted in English, Twi, or a mix. Voco's English-to-Twi translation enables predominantly English-language churches to minister effectively to first-generation Twi-speaking members.
