Helping People Provide For Themselves

What we do

PROVIDing Work FOR LOCAL Families

The palm press operation is where we press the palm fruit for the oil that is in the fruit. It can be used in different foods and also used to make soap. Our goal is to use the press operation as a means to build relationships with the local people, be it through the 9 employees we have or the farmers that we buy from. It is also a way for us to teach honest business practices. Our mission is to:

  • To provide the Word of Truth to the poverty-stricken souls in Africa, while teaching them to provide for themselves.
  • To send men and women over to these villages to spread the Word of God and to evangelize by exemplifying the Word in normal life.
  • To plant churches to provide Christian teaching to the natives and to provide accountability for their walk in Christ.
Testimony

"Since the beginning of Palm Ministries, I have been employed here. The consistent income that it provides has been a blessing to me. It has given me the ability to buy more farmland to help provide for my family. I also have been able to send my son to a vo-tech school to learn the mechanic trade."

We are Kerek and Adriana Zimmerman. We moved to Ghana in May of 2026. Kerek serves as the manager of the Palm Press. Please join us in praying 

  • that the love of Jesus could be exemplified in our work here at the Palm Press.
  • that Satan’s powers could be broken so the Word of Jesus could shine in our lives and in the lives of the Ghanaians.
  • that we could be faithful to our calling and be consistent witnesses of Jesus.
Thanks for your support!
