Rev. Mrs. Rita Korankye-Ankrah I warmly welcome you to Camp 2019. It is another year to experience the tangible presence and the manifestation of the power of God. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Royal Ladies Ministries. What began as a small women’s fellowship has become a great and influential organisation which empowers women spiritually, socially and economically. From a journey of humble beginnings to cutting edge ministry. To God be the glory. Our theme for this year, given by our Papa the Apostle General is “The Struggle is Over” (Genesis 26:22). How prophetic it is! After many years of struggling for a permanent place of meeting, God has blessed us with a 100-acre land, City of Shiloh. Just as the Lord has done for us, I prophesy to you that the hand of God will move you from your current place of struggle, shame, despair and unfruitfulness to a place of glory, honour and influence in the name of Jesus.
Last year, we had only a few weeks to make the City of Shiloh ready for Camp 2018. Through dedication, hard work and financial prudence, we were able to make it happen. What a testimony! This year the Lord has enabled us to add more facilities, even though there is still a lot that needs to be done to accommodate all the thousands of women who gather at Shiloh. At our Executive Conference in February, I challenged all the leaders with David’s instructions to his son Solomon about building a temple for God (1 Chronicles 29:1-9). Here are the lessons: · · ·
David provided all the resources needed for the building of the temple. David involved his elders in the project and challenged them to give as well because he wanted them to be blessed. David used the word “consecration” in his exhortation to his leaders.
The same word “consecration” is also used to describe the ordination of priests. Meaning whoever gave to the building of the temple of God was to be set apart and raised to the position of a priest. As you give towards the City of Shiloh, the Lord shall set you apart for prosperity, promotion and unprecedented miracles in 2019. The City of Shiloh is not for man but for the Lord. With this exhortation, I want to encourage and challenge you to give generously to the building of the City of Shiloh. The testimonies we are receiving from those who have given to the project are amazing. You can connect into those testimonies through your generosity. To all our sponsors and partners, I say a big thank you. May the God of the Apostle General, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done. Your financial contributions will forever remain a memorial before God.
I wish you a blessed and an unforgettable experience at Camp 2019.

Rev. Sam Korankye-Ankrah My dear Royal Lady, the word of the Lord for you this year is that the struggle is over! As I waited on the Lord, He took me to the story of Isaac in Genesis 26:18-24. In this story we see that the Philistines struggled with Isaac over wells of water, a precious commodity in those days. The struggle was so intense that Isaac lost the battle twice and aptly named the wells Esek and Sitnah. Esek means contention and strife. Sitnah means opposition and hostility. Esek and Sitnah may influence and manifest in your life through:
1. Family gods or idols. 2. Your past. 3. Words of a person who has authority over you. However, the word of the Lord in verse 22 says that, Isaac did not give up after his defeat, he moved on from there and dug another well, and this time no one quarrelled over it. He named it Rehoboth and prophesied saying, “Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land.�
My dear, whatever you have been struggling about and whoever you have been struggling with, hear me; the Lord says, it is over. That situation of “Esek” and “Sitnah” has given way to Rehoboth. Your struggles are over and it is time for you to flourish in the land.
Rehoboth means: 1. A time of rest from your struggles and contentions. 2. A period of enlargement and increase. 3. A season of restoration, where you recover in greater measure everything you lost. 4. A time when the contention, strife, opposition and hostility of Esek and Sitnah are over. 5. A time of peace and prosperity. In this season of rest, enlargement, increase, peace and prosperity, you cannot give up. Your Rehoboth is here, your struggle is over. Here is why the Lord will bless you “That night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.” Gen. 26:24 (NKJV). My dear, your connection with the covenant of your father with Jehovah God is your sure collateral for blessings. Just as the Lord was with Isaac because of his father Abraham, so will the Lord be with you. My covenant with God will speak for you in this season of Rehoboth. Get ready for it, for your struggles are over! This year we shall use the following tokens: 1. Feet washing. 2. Handkerchiefs – to celebrate our victories. 3. Anointing oil – to anoint our children.
I love you and I can’t wait to celebrate your victories. Camp 2019…the struggle is over!

History of
Royal Ladies International Royal Ladies Ministries International (RLM) is a highly successful organisation that seeks to empower women, by equipping women with the knowledge of the word of God and aII other resources needed by women to arise in every endeavour of their lives, to shine in this world.
Brief History In 1994, the wife of the President and founder of Royalhouse Chapel International (RCI), the Reverend Mrs. Rita Korankye-Ankrah, affectionately called Mama Rita, founded RLM as the women’s wing of RCI with 12 founding members in Accra, Ghana. Nine of these founding members, together with Mama Rita, later became the Ministry’s first set of executives, known as the Founding Mothers. Being the President General of RLM, Mama Rita presides over all the ministries of RLM in Ghana and abroad. To the glory of God, from a humble beginning of 12 women, the ministry currently boasts of over ten thousand members in Ghana, Europe, United States of America (USA) and other parts of the world. RLM has, over the years, through Godly teachings and principles customised to the peculiar needs of women, successfully empowered its members by bringing hope to the hopeless and raising women from all walks of life to “arise and shine” in all spheres of life.
Vision The vision of RLM is to empower women spiritually, socially and economically to enable them positively impact society
Slogan The slogan of the ministry is: Royal Ladies!!! The response is, Arise......and Shine. The slogan is founded on Isaiah 60:1
Corporate colours The corporate colours are royal blue and white with a touch of gold. The royal blue symbolises royalty and priesthood. The white symbolises purity, righteousness and victory. The gold symbolises wealth and riches.
Membership There are two categories of members: · Young ladies of age 18 to 32 years, known as the Second Generation (2G) · Ladies of age 25 years and above
Leadership Structure · · ·
The International Board (This is the key decisionmaking body of RLM, locally and internationally). The Ghana National Board (This is the apex body of RLM in Ghana). Executives of Local Assemblies and International Missions (They manage the day-to-day affairs of the ministry at the Assemblies and Missions).
Annual Residential Camp Meetings Every year the ministry gathers women in residential camp meetings in Ghana, UK and the USA. These camp meetings serve as platforms for prayer, fellowship and networking. Over the years, through the preaching of transformational messages, the ministry has successfully empowered its members to “arise and shine” in all that they do. The first camp meeting was organised in Accra, Ghana, in November 1998. In response to the impact and popularity of the Ghana camp meetings, the concept has been replicated in the USA and UK to afford members and other women who live and work in Europe and the Americas the opportunity to participate and benefit.
Key Achievements · · · · ·
Acquisition of 100 acres of land for the construction of a multi- purpose hostel and conference centre in Accra, Ghana. Educational scholarships for needy but brilliant students in high school, vocational and tertiary level (200 people have benefited). Start-up capital (interest-free) for agro-processing and other business ventures (150 women have benefited). South Africa exchange programme for women to give them international exposure and build their confidence (300 women have benefited). Annual donations to charities and provision of community needs (boreholes, prisons, hospitals and orphanages).
Royal Ladies UK Today, the vision of Royal Ladies is being replicated across the nations of the world wherever Royalhouse Chapel is located. The Royal Ladies UK of RCI Missions began in August 2001. It grew out of our first mission in the UK; South London Mission. Since then, every mission that has been established has a Royal Ladies Ministry and 2G Ministry (Second Generation Ministry); learning to take over from the mothers.
City of Shiloh In line with the vision of Royal Ladies Ministries (RLM), the leadership has begun the project captioned “City of Shiloh.” The aim of the project is for the city to provide:
· An empowerment centre for women · A shelter for abused women · A training centre for ex-convicts · A spa and health centre · A conference centre
Women empowerment centre Women are given equal rights under the constitution of Ghana, yet disparities in education, employment, and health for women remain prevalent. Studies show that when women are supported and empowered, all of society benefits. Their families are healthier, more children go to school, agricultural productivity improves, and incomes increase. In short, communities become more resilient. City of Shiloh will provide an environment for women where they will be empowered spiritually, socially and economically to make decisions of their own for their personal benefits, their families as well as for the society. Every year the Royal Ladies Ministries gathers thousands of women in residential camp meetings in Ghana, the UK and the USA. Facilities at the City of Shiloh will enable the leadership of royal ladies to organise larger residential camp meetings for women from all walks of life. The camps serve as platforms for prayer, fellowshipping and networking. A lot of organisations delivering women empowerment activities in Ghana operate as NGOs. The City of Shiloh’s women’s empowerment centre will be the first of its kind in Ghana to be owned by a church which will focus on ministering holistically to the spiritual, social and economic needs of women.
Shelter for abused women Although Ghana passed the domestic violence act in 2007, the absence of a legal instrument backing the law has left the provision and coordination of services needed by domestic violence survivors in the hands of nonstate actors. Protective measures such as shelters are almost non-existent. Currently, Ghana has only one shelter, owned and run by an NGO – the Helpers Foundation. The shelter at the City of Shiloh will be a big boost in the fight against domestic violence in Ghana. It will serve as a temporal place of protection and support for women escaping domestic violence. Such women while the centre for rehabilitation will also receive emotional and psychological counselling by professionals which will give them a sense of empowerment.
A training centre for ex-convicts Over the past 5 years, Royalhouse Chapel International has been operating a rehabilitation centre for ex-convicts. This has delivered on a small scale due to inadequate facilities. With the establishment of City of Shiloh a broad array of programs including spiritual training, education and professional counselling services will be developed for ex-convicts. Reverend Sam Korankye Ankrah also oversees a prison ministry which distributes food supplies and provides spiritual nurture to prisoners across Ghana. A fully equipped training centre for ex-convicts will significantly augment the prison ministry of Royalhouse chapel international.
Spa and Health Centre City of Shiloh will house a spa and health centre with the provision of health services aimed at improving health, beauty and relaxation through personal care treatments such as hair, massages and facials.
Conference centre The facilities of City of Shiloh will be designed to hold conferences that can accommodate thousands of people. There will be residential facilities, auditoriums and meeting rooms. The conference facilities can be rented out to individuals and groups and this will generate revenue for the city’s operation and maintenance of the facilities. The City of Shiloh conference centre will be suitable for major camp meetings, church and other general meetings and trade exhibitions.
What can you do to help? If 300 women committed to £5 a month, we could raise £36000 in 2 years. If 300 women committed to £10 a month, we could raise £72000 in 2 years. If 300 women committed to £20 a month, we could raise £144000 in 2 years. If 300 women committed to £30 a month, we could raise £216000 in 2 years. If 300 women committed to £50 a month, we could raise £360000 in 2 years. To support the Shiloh project, please contact the Royal Ladies president of your local mission.

2G
Ladies Ministry Who We Are Second Generation (2G) Ladies Ministry is a ministry under the Royal Ladies Ministry of Royalhouse Chapel. The ministry was founded in January 2012 by the Premier Lady, Rev. Mrs. Rita Korankye-Ankrah at the Royal Ladies Executive Conference in Ghana. Initially, the group was formed to bring together the daughters of the founding members of Royal Ladies as a platform for them to support each other spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Though it started with the daughters of the mothers, the ministry has now expanded to include young ladies who are active in Royalhouse Chapel International (RCI) and have the vision of the church rooted in them.
Membership The ministry is led by Ps. Nana Akosua KorankyeAnkrah with a membership of over 500 ladies across all RCI local assemblies and international missions. The ministry is made up of phenomenal young women between 18 and 32 years. 2G also has a sub ministry of our passionate younger sisters who are between the ages of 12 and 18, known as Junior2G (J2G) which started in the UK in 2015.
Core Vision: The main purpose of 2G is to provide an avenue to train and empower the younger generation of Royal Ladies to carry on the vision of the ministry when the mothers are ready to pass on the baton.
Slogan: “Arise! Take the mantle; Run with the vision!!!”
Background Of The Slogan: On the 7th of February 2013, the Holy Spirit visited us mightily at a 2G EU Skype session and there was a prophecy that said God was giving 2G a mantle and that we should rise up, take it and walk in it. The prophecy explained that in order for the ministry to grow, we had to understand and move with the vision. This led us to this beautiful slogan and it summarises the vision of 2G perfectly. Scriptural reference: 2 Kings 2: 13-14.
2G EU
2G EU started after Royal Ladies UK Camp 2014, under the leadership of Lady Deacon Naa Dromo Korankye-Ankrah. We are characterised by our powerfulweekly Skype Sessions where we have people connecting from all over Europe. The presence of the Holy Spirit and the training the ladies receive are what make our sessions stand out. We also have our yearly all-nights and seminars which bring the ladies together from all our UK missions and sister churches in Europe. In November 2016, 2G EU was handed over to Lady Pastor Nora Gadzekpo who has taken the mantle and is running with the vision. J2G is being overseen by Lady Deacon Queenstar Amponsah-Dogbatse.
2G...always ready 2G...ever ready 2G...yeyeeeee!!! .
