The Westgate Church of Christ supports mission work in Alabama and throughout the world. Following are the works in which we are involved.
Ghana, Africa
The Westgate family provides the oversight and is the primary sponsor for David Essuman, Director of the Swedru International Bible Institute in Swedru, Ghana. David was born and raised in Ghana and has studied at the International School of Biblical Studies in Cape Town, South Africa, Harding University, and the Sunset School of Missions in Lubbock, TX. He holds a Master's Degree from the Theological University of America. David's tireless efforts in administering the school, teaching regularly and training up a new generation of leaders is reaping a tremendous harvest for the Lord.

Korean Bible School
The Korean Bible School in Seoul, South Korea ministers to a nation that can boast in the rapid growth of the body of Christ. Korea is now sending missionaries to the United States (the fourth largest unchurched population in the world). The Korean Bible School offers online Bible correspondence, an extension site for the Sunset International Bible Institute (SIBI), and broadcasts Christian programing throughout the nation of South Korea. Bill Ramsey of Murfressboro, TN began the correspondence program in 1963 and coordinates this work under the oversight of the Northside Church of Christ in Jeffersonville, IN. The overwhelming response to the correspondence program led to the establishment of the SIBI campus known as Korea Christian College. Most of the classes are taught by Korean ministers and a few are taught by Americans using translators.
