January trip to Togo, West Africa by 5 men from FBC Celina. We saw over 500 Africans and all of them heard the Gospel. More than 200 prayed verbally to receive Christ as Savior. The focus of our work in northern Togo is the Lamba people group, an unreached group centralized in northern Togo and Ghana. This is our third trip to Togo. We will likely need to return two more times.

Jonathan is preaching at Hosana Baptist Church, Lome, Togo.

This man is praying like the Africans pray, from the heart.

Avisse Samuel is interpreting the pastor's prayer for the Americans.

She has a baby tied on to her back.

Pastor Nadjombe is the man we support in northern Togo, the city of Kante. He has nine churches and five of them speak Lamba. The Lamba are farmers in northern Togo and Ghana and they are basically unreached.

Two eye exams and lots of translating going on.

Dudley is listening to Nayke interpret the patient's words.

Dudley really enjoyed helping this girl. She really needed the glasses.

Jeff Gravley is measuring the patient's ability to read up close while Samuel interprets.

This is a sacrifice that a "fetish-er" or "charlatan" (read 'witch-doctor') advised a fellow to leave out for his ancestors. See how far away everyone is from it?

Nayke registers two women for the clinic.

Randy is the "pharmacist" filling the prescription and fitting the glasses.

Part of the line of people waiting to go through the clinic.

Samuel is interpreting for Dudley the patient's words. French to English. Sometimes, Lamba to French to English.

One of the stations of the eye-clinic is the witnessing station. Jonathan is sharing the Gospel with two policemen using the Evangecube.

Pastor Nadjombe receives a projector, some Thompson Chain Reference Bibles, printer ink and other gifts and necessities for his ministry.

She is checking out her new reading glasses.

Dudley examines a Muslim woman. She cannot read, so she is attempting to thread a needle.

This Muslim woman is waiting for her eyeglasses. All the Muslims who came through the clinic heard the Gospel and most of them prayed the prayer. Of course, it is very challenging for them to convert openly. We pray that we've effectively sown seed.

Jeff Knowles is sharing soccer balls and the Gospel with villagers from Kpaiskpai, a remote Lamba village that has a thriving church. Nadjombe is the 'Paul' and the young man who leads the Kpaiskpai church is his 'Timothy.' This church has grown to 100 in regular attendance. It is a real foothold among the Lamba people group.

Mr. and Mrs. Nadjombe and the Kpaiskpai pastor and his deacon show us the site for the new church. The sand in the back has been hand delivered to the site for leveling and foundations.

Thursday was the biggest day of eye clinics, 140 patients. Samuel is speaking with people in the line.

Randy is fitting this fellow with sunglasses. Lots of folks come through the line who don't need glasses. They are just hoping for something from the Americans. So, they get sunglasses. As much UV as these folks are exposed to in their lives, sunglasses can help them.

Pastor Nadjombe's son helps Randy, Jeff and Samuel set up the pharmacy.
