Togo? Where’s that? You ask…

IMGP2073Yes you know its in West Africa somewhere between Ghana and Benin. If that’s what you said then you are right. But what else do you know about Togo?

Whatever we knew before visiting is irrelevant compared with what we have experienced by being there!

Kpalime is a small town near the west border of Togo and about 100klm from the coast.

IMGP2081It has only one or two sealed roads with the majority red dirt and thick mud because it teams down nearly every afternoon this time of year.

IMGP2077aEveryone gets about on the back of small motorbike “taxis” that cost only a few cents to hire.

IMGP2168“Ordinary” taxis are small 5 seater sedans at least 10 years old but looking about 35.

They are still “legally roadworthy” if they can move regardless whether they can stop or not. You pay per seat and the 4 passenger seats are actually charged as 6. So you cram in, breath in and smile nicely at the persons who are taking ALL your space

The Pastor’s Evangelism Conference went well. Jim Bellas, a Greek Australian from Brisbane and I were the guest speakers. Around 50 pastors attended. Along with their wives and other friends some days there were 100 or more in attendance.

IMGP2124Each session was filled with Bible Teaching and Evangelism Techniques and all the pastors were encouraged to go out onto the streets to share the Gospel. It was great to see them return from an outreach one day with several souls saved.

I am now in USA visiting friends, churches and supporters. Looking forward to getting back home to Australia in about a week.

There will be more about my schedule in Australia in the next post.
