I
was born in South Togo West Africa in an ungodly family. Most
of the people in my family practiced Vodou (the paganism religion
also practiced in I
received this message of Christ's forgiveness with all of my heart
convicting me of my real nature as a sinner. This event
happened when I was ten years old; I gave my life to the Lord on
January, 1983. Because of this, my family persecuted me.
I was summoned by my family and told to renounce my faith
publicly. Instead of renouncing my faith, I confirmed my
choice to follow the Lord and that nothing in the world would be
able to separate me from the Lord I had come to know. The
Lord touched the hearts of two of my cousins and my brother and they
have also given their lives to Him. We had become four members
of the same family in our village that is following the Lord in true
adoration. We experienced physical and spiritual attacks, but
our union and our determination for the Lord was strengthened. On
02/10/1985 I was baptized at the same time as my cousins and brother
by missionary Kater in the Biblical Baptist Church of Tokoin-Solidarity.
We were the first Baptist members and the total number of members
was eight. Responding to the commandment of Matthew 28:19 we
proclaimed the Gospel and the Lord blessed our work. From the
eight members, the church experienced extraordinary growth in a few
years to more than 100 members. Seeing this expansion of the
gospel we decided to bring the Gospel to our own village. We
fasted and prayed for the support of the Lord because our village
was solidly fixed in the worship of Vodou. Despite the
mockeries and many attacks from Satan, the village (Agbalepedogan)
began to receive the Message because they observed that nothing
happened to us in spite of the spiritual attacks from Satan against
us. By
the grace of God, we found a place to meet and worship and study the
Bible. In the space of some months the number of worshippers
increased and other members of my family were converted to the Lord.
An increase in number caused us to ask the support of the
missionaries in order to take care of the ministry. When
Missionary McMillen arrived, he was a great help to us, and built
the church which now has 250 baptized members. In
June, 2001 I was called as pastor of a new church that had been
started. This church is located 35km from the first church.
To reply efficiently to the call of God I saw the need for more
training in pastoral studies and Theology. My
vision for ministry is: -
The planting of Fundamental Baptist churches that will spread the
Gospel and teach fundamental doctrine. -
Ministry for teens. Reaching young people that can spread the
Gospel. -
Orphans and widows ministry. -
Missions programs.
