PRAY FOR MINISTRY IN TOGO

​

We recently prayed for the director of a Christian humanitarian organization as he visited ten communities to see their needs and consider how to serve them. The meetings were fruitful, and already at least three churches are being established in an area where many follow Islam, animism, or a mixture of both. This worker shares the following information and requests:

​

• “Many villages have neither a church nor a mosque. There is an urgent need occupy these villages; the first to plant a work will have the control.” Pray that churches would mobilize to send workers to serve there.

• In one village, the traditional chief explained that, as the “guardian” of their religion, he could not accept another. His two sons also expressed fear of the consequences of abandoning the worship of their gods. This worker, a former Muslim, shared with them how the Lord protected him through persecution when he left Islam. The two accepted Jesus, and this past Sunday a worker held services in two locations in the community. Pray that these works would be firmly established as the Lord delivers people from fear and false gods.

• In another, strongly animistic village, this worker again shared his testimonies with four young men bound by fear, assuring them of Jesus’ love and protection. When he asked if they would like to experience this Jesus, they all cried “Yes!” and prayed to receive him. The pastor accompanying this worker has been able to begin services here. Pray for the growth of these young men and that many others will follow them into faith.
