The Togo outreach is now in full swing! This week marked the first surgeries on board with hundreds more to follow! Screening days have been taking place throughout various parts of Togo and surgery dates are being set for many people who have been without hope of healing for many years.
It has been very exciting to explore the new country and compare its similarities and differences with Benin. I've enjoyed arriving in a new country and not experiencing extreme culture shock! In the near future, I will be tutoring some local children in French (please pray!) and some English. I am very excited to build relationships with these kids and just be a part of the community here!
This morning, a group of us went to a church in a fishing village close-by. This church was planted in 1995, when the Anastasis Mercy Ship was here in Togo. We were honoured to attend this service with the crew member who planted the church! The vibrant worship, welcoming people and faith-filled leaders made me begin to feel like this may just become my 'home-church' while here in Togo. Thankfully, they are willing to teach this white-girl to dance like no-one is watching :D! God is really working in this church and the surrounding village!
Please continue to keep the outreach in prayer! The Togo elections have now been postponed to March 4 so please pray for a fair and peaceful election process! Also, please keep the screening process in prayer...that those who are hidden away or have been cast out of their society would hear and come!
