November Foreign Mission Monthly News

Endeavoring to obey the Word of our Lord...Go ye into all the lands and preach the Gospel to every creature.

Serving in Togo

"Thank you for coming to Togo and please come for longer next year! We appreciate what you have given us and we want to give back to you. Now we will take a collection for your ministry." The collection was subsiquently taken and though it wasn't much, it was offered with much love!

We've worked in Togo for several years. Togo is in Western Africa. The national language is French, but English is spoken by some. Everyone also speaks one of the local African languages.The Togolese people are warm and welcoming. They live in a beautiful, albeit poor, country. And they are asking for people to partner with them in spreading the Gospel of Christ! Is God calling you to Togo? If so, contact the FM Administrator about a trip in February 2013. The trip will consist of children's ministry, pastors' training, village ministry and more. To learn more about our work in Togo, visit the website by clicking here.


Pastors from small villages throughout the state of Andra Pradesh in India. A severe cyclone hit this area last week causing extensive damage to many of their villages. (see Word from the field)

Word from the field:

Dear Sirs,
We have had terrible natural disaster for the last couple of days. Rain and winds started on 31st of October through 4th November... downpour of rains without any gap almost reminded of Noah's days... brought lot of damage on poor houses of believers and others in several hundreds of villages in our State... the harvest came to but the whole thing is washed in rains... last Sunday some places could not have worship services... there was an average of 190 cms rain... the elders said that they have not seen before, very fearful situation, we do not know how the restoration will be taking place... please pray for and let people know about this disaster and hoping some will come forward with a special donation for the welfare of the affected people so that we can extend some help... please pray for us. Still some rain is continuing as the cyclone is not fully calm down.
Pastor K (India)
