Coast for Christ Academy dubbed operation ‘catch them young’ project was established to address the challenge facing fishermen’s children. Some fishermen children had right to formal education. Furthermore, many of the fishermen cannot afford to send their kids to school thus some of the children are subjected to child labour and sometimes child slavery. The vision of Coast for Christ Academy sees itself as an institution providing children of fishermen and pointing them to Jesus as the Master Teacher developing these children holistically. In terms of mission, Coast for Christ Academy exists to educate Children along the coast developing children’s: Mind (Intellect), Heart (Love for God, Humanity and Environment), and Hands and feet (Industry).
The school exists to nurture children as God’s Image bearers and Change Agents in their communities and the society as a whole. The school exists to train children so they see, hear and understand God’s destiny for them and to discover their self-worth. Coast for Christ Academy runs a creche, nursery and a Junior High school. It has the plan to add Senior High and a University College as the Lord opens the doors. The motto of the school is Christ in you the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).
Since its establishment in 1996, Coast for Christ Academy has produced graduates, some of whom have become teachers in the school & others serving as nurses in the hospital. Pray and join CFCM in giving pro poor children in the fishing communities along the coast of Ghana their right to formal education.
