God Knows Why Chemical Store

We are excited to share more details with you about the God Knows Why Chemical Store, managed by Georgiana and Francis Afrifa, a cross-cultural evangelist. These are godly people with a heart to serve God and His people and expand the Kingdom.



What is God Knows Why Chemical Store?
God Knows Why Chemical Store is a pharmacy started three years ago by Francis and Georgiana. However, due to a motorcycle accident, they had to sell most of their inventory to pay medical expenses.

Recently, Francis and Georgiana were able to re-open the pharmacy on a limited basis. The major objective of God Knows Why Chemical Store is to win souls and better the lives of Christians. Most of the people in their area are Muslims and are rejected by their family if they convert from the Islamic faith. God Knows Why Chemical Store wants to be in a position where they can use their resources to support the needy who come to Christ and those who have been rejected from their families to keep them in the faith.

How did Mission Resource help?
Mission Resource provided a loan to expand their business. With the loan, they are able to:
• Buy inventory in bulk, allowing them to get a better price on their inventory and also attract more customers by having more items to sell.
• Invoice the government for pharmaceuticals sold. The people in their area are expected to register with the National Health Insurance. By doing so, they are not required to pay for their pharmaceuticals; rather God Knows Why Chemical Store invoices the government. They are one of only two pharmacies in the entire region with this designation.
• Purchase a pick-up truck to transport their inventory. Without a vehicle, they had to rely on public transportation which is costly, time consuming, and unreliable. They now travel a shorter trip of about 8 hours to their supplier and have the assurance that the inventory will be properly cared for during transport.

In the following video you’ll see Georgiana’s beautiful smile as she shares the advantages of buying in bulk and hear Emmanuel, our Mission Resource representative in Ghana, explain the National Health Insurance system.



We’re excited about the potential that we see for this business and the missions opportunities that come from it. We celebrate your partnership in this ministry that makes it all possible!

For His Glory,
David Ketchum
