Ghana Evangelical Missions Association (GEMA) is the national Christian missions umbrella body in Ghana. GEMA was formed in 1989 at the first Ghana Consultation on Evangelism and Missions under the auspices of the Ghana Evangelism Committee (GEC). It was mandated by the Christian Churches in Ghana to Mobilize, Network, Research and help build capacity for the promotion of missionary activities in Ghana and Beyond. Dr. Seth Anyomi led the first Executive Committee as President and the late Mr. Bernard Ofori – Atta was the General Coordinator. The two other Past Presidents of GEMA are Rev Sampson Dorkunor and Pastor Enoch Nyador.
