Susanna Wesley's Page

In 2016, during the meetings of Association of the Ghanaian United Methodist Churches (AGUMC), Ghana Wesley UMC, Brooklyn had no SUWMA representation; a very important observation by Sis. Joyce Donkor – a SUWMA member from Ghana UMC, Bronx.  This led to extensive discussions and deliberations the pastor Rev. Dr. Samuel A. Arhin, Bro. Joe Afreh and Sis. Joyce Frimpong.  An overview as well as a mission plan was provided to prospective membership in Feb 2017.  Finally, with the help of the church Susanna Wesley Mission Auxiliary was inaugurated on July 22nd, 2018.
