Walking Faithfully


A year ago at this time, I was in Ghana but not remaining in Ghana like I had the previous 3 years.  I was transitioning into a new ministry, a ministry that would stretch me but help me rely more on God.  I moved to Togo, West Africa to train teachers at 14 Christian Schools.  The Lord used us through our weaknesses to show His power as we have 2800 students in 14 schools.  That is only through the Lord’s provision !  God is using Togolese teachers to reach the youth for Christ.  If they have a strong foundatin in Christ, they can become the next leaders in the Church and win more souls for Christ.  We are empowering the Togolese Youth to be the next Togolese Christian Leaders and God has sustained us through each step of the way.  Although I have not written since last November, due to computer and internet problems,  I have seen the Lord provide in tangible ways.  He has sent money the minute we needed to pay teachers, He has brought students to Christ, He has enabled teachers to clearly share the message of Christ with students, and He has used the students to witness to their parents.  I have now been in the states for a month and a half and I am thrilled to be around friends and family.  However, my heart has stayed in Togo as I know that the Lord has burdened my heart for the people and I must return.  I cannot return until I raise 100% of my monthly support needs.  This is not my ministry, it is the Lord’s ministry and it only can be sustained through prayer and a team of supporters.  Yes, I have the opportunity to serve there, but everyone supporting the ministry is a vital part as you give encouragement to keep working diligently for the Lord.  Thank you for partnering with the Christian School Ministry in Togo.  Please continue to pray that the Lord will put this ministry on more hearts so I may return soon to continue the work for the Lord.
