When we leave next week for Togo, we hope to accomplish several things The following are three of our goals.
1. Confirm God’s will for our lives. We believe that God has called us to work in Togo. Going there, meeting the people, and praying about God’s will with the team there, will help us confirm God’s leading in our lives.
2. Encourage team members. Mission work in a different culture is difficult for a variety of reasons. You are away from family and friends. Normal daily activities can be difficult due to a lack of conveniences or products. We pray that we are a blessing and encouragement to those already working there.
3. Love the people of Togo. Loving our neighbor is the command of Christ. By beginning a relationship with the people of Togo now, we can begin to see how we will minister to, love them, and be loved by them in the future.
I’m excited for you guys. I know that Missions has been a lifelong calling and I’m glad that God is opening doors for you.
