October 2019 report:
May the love and grace of God be with each of you and, above all, health be granted to you on behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for the support you each provide for the development of the Christ ministry in Togo.
BVBI-Kpalime:
Now our center has two motorcycles with which students visit the churches where they are sent every week to study or sermonize. The church in the village of Avetonou is still run by the students. Soon, the 13 students will complete their first year at the Bear Valley Institute and begin their second year in January 2020.
Our intention is to move to areas where assemblies do not exist to establish one in each zone. Students who have come from denominations and are converted during CBS course studies for one year will work with evangelists on the same church, while those who have done more than two years in the church of Christ before the training can work with the new established churches.
Agriculture and livestock:
The agriculture project began by serving students. Since the resumption of classes, POTCHOLI Koffi David, a former student of our school, has been studying in the field of agriculture and gardening, especially in organic agriculture, that is, without the use of chemicals in the production of agricultural crops. Missionary Willie Gley has provided a room that is used first by the teacher to teach the classes, then they move on to practice on the ground (field). They are the beginning of theory and practice.
Saturday's classes:
A great progress with the Saturday classes, very soon those of Kpalime will complete their one-year program with great success. There are others who come to register to attend Saturday's courses when they have completed their program. In Lomé, everything is fine almost every month I send the printed courses for the rest of the courses.
Our desire is to go far north in 2020 in Blita and Kara with Saturday's classes.
Evangelization:
Our slogan Togo for Christ worries us every day, but no longer on Fridays, we go to villages, on the roads, the market, in places of service, we distribute Bible treatises and correspondence courses. We went to AKATA to evangelize from house to house.
Conference at TEMEJA:
As they are all denominations, the questions asked and the courses they receive, the sharing of his teachings in their denominations has raised other more important questions that I must answer, not only to them (students) but also to their followers and to the women of his pastors whose pastoral ministry is already exercised by other women in their denominations. The end of October allowed me to organize a conference at TEMEJA with more than 87 people composed of women pastors and men. Some members of their denominations were also present. The theme was "Can we lose salvation", text: 1 Cor. 9:27.
Traveling
The students of Saturday's courses all attended this conference at TEMEJA. The trolley to transport students from Kpalime to TEMEJA. So the students of the Saturday classes in Kpalime and those of TEMEJA were together that day.
The conference ended with a complaint from the women: What is needed for them? The answer is: women have a very important role in the mission of the church, so from time to time there will be conferences on the role of women in a local church. When they are converted, they will attend the courses on the "Women's Ministry".
