#PrayforTogo

In 12 hours I will be boarding a plane to Togo, West Africa.

I have been overwhelmed at the function of the Body of Christ and blessed immensely as so many have given of their time, prayers, and money to make the Lord's work happen in getting our team of 20 off of the ground and into the air tomorrow. I go with the Lord in front of, behind, and beside me. He is going to do a mighty work to claim His people in Togo and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of it! 

During our time in Togo we will visit 8 villages, 2 of which have never been evangelized to. The majority of Togolese people practice Voodoo or ancestory worship, living lives enslaved to handcarven images and the fear of evil powers. Our team is going to heal physical wounds as an avenue for the light of Christ. Only Christ, the one who lived a perfect life, became the sacrifice for our sins on the cross and defeated death, can lighten the darkness of this sinful world. We are without hope apart from Him, and I am thrilled to bring HOPE into the lives of the Togolese! I can't wait to tell them that the Creator of this Earth sent His son to die for the evil of their hearts, so that the separation caused by sin would be overcome, and we could have access to the Father's love. And I anticipate with joy, seeing the Holy Spirit move in the hearts of the Togolese as they recognize their sin and seek salvation in Christ alone. 

May He who began a good work in you and I, do so in many Togolese hearts this week, and may He carry it through to completion at the day of Christ Jesus. May the earth tremble and the nations rejoice in praise of our Creator, Savior, and King! 

Pray:
- for health and safety of the entire team
- that the devil would be thwarted in his desire to prevent the furthering of the Gospel
- that the Lord would bring physical healing to many
