Celebrations
In addition to the family camp we have had a few celebrations this year. Of course, we had a New Year’s Eve celebration where, for the past few years Bruno has been asked to pray for Togo over our local radio station and we always have great singing and fun!
Later that same month our ladies were able to go on a 2 night retreat. The theme was Love and the women learned the different words for love and their meaning. They had a blast singing, dancing, playing games, eating, and fellowshipping! Thank you to everyone who helped sponsor this event!!
In April, we celebrated Bruno’s 40th birthday! He was really excited to find out that next year he gets to go to a mentor retreat that Bob Russell hosts! I (Amy) am so thankful to Shon for helping me pull that one off!
We just had our Togo Labor Day celebration and had our teachers over for games and a great meal! We also had some of the youth who have been helping at the farm over that evening!
Prayer Requests
-Our vehicle! It is 20 years old and is breaking down a lot! Twenty years old and with us for 9 years on these Togo roads is quite a feat! We are praying for it to last longer! We really like this vehicle but if it keeps up, we will need to buckle down and find a new gem!!
-My uncle MIGNANOU (translated: be wise) also in his 70’s is very receptive to the gospel. I went to preach in the village where I’m from and my parents still live and he came to the assembly. He and I talked some more after the assembly. Please pray that he will be wiser and make a decision for Christ.
- In 2 weeks we will have a college student, Cali from NC, visit us for 7 weeks and then in June we will be having 2 groups totaled of 35 people. The first group of 25 consists of 5 dentists and helpers who will be both running a dental clinic and painting! The 2nd group mostly consists of teachers who will be holding a teacher conference/training with our teachers. Please pray for all of our visitor’s safety and for doors to be opened for us to win souls and start new Bible study contacts through their coming!
-Pray for a good farming season!! It is not raining as it should this time in the villages and is causing famine.
-Divine intervention for the economic situation of Togo and a spiritual breakthrough for the entire country!
- Satan likes to attack when great things are being done for God! Please pray for the Lord’s protection and blessing over our entire ministry!
“Now may our God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ make your love increase and overflow for each other, and everyone else; may He strengthen your heart so that you will be holy and blameless in His presence when our Lord Jesus comes with all His holy ones.”
