Our Leadership

The Peki Mission is a new cross-cultural partnership borne of a long history of Methodist Church ministry in Peki and infused with new life through the ministry of Rev. Victoria Affram-Boyd.

Rev. Victoria Affram-Boyd is a Ghanaian-American United Methodist pastor in the New York Annual Conference. She is the granddaughter of the founder of the Peki Methodist Church, Mr. Samuel Beatson-Affram, who gave up his cultural privileges as Peki’s Chief Linguist when he converted to Christianity in 1893. He donated the land and money to build the church and school in Peki, and in the subsequent 115 years, the church has planted at least 14 other churches throughout Ghana. The church has been working to construct a new building for more than 12 years, but progress has been sporadic due to a lack of ongoing funding.

Rev. Affram-Boyd describes the mission this way: “Our work together is not simply about the completion of a building, nor will it end there. My hope is to develop sustainable partnerships between churches in the United States and the church in Ghana. I believe strongly in Christ’s universal church – one that crosses cultural and national boundaries. My passion is to unite God’s people by bringing them to share the love of Christ across cultures.”
