FMC IN TOGO

PRESENT MINISTRIES

Rev. Dosseh Takpale works with several leaders who have groups in six locations. Three groups are located near Lome, Togo’s capital. Several church plants have begun in the central region among Muslims. Togo has a vibrant children’s ministry, with two schools. The Lome church has supported the start-up of FM work in Guinea Bissau. The Togo church has approximately 10 church plants in the central region of Togo and several in the south. Togo will be the site of the Wesley missionary institute, scheduled to open near the end of 2018. This school will train mostly West African Free Methodists to reach out in cross-cultural ministry to people the FM churches are not currently reaching.

OUTREACH TO THE WORLD

Dosseh also has a vision for reviving a house group in Benin, the country east of Togo. The Lome church has supported the startup of FM work in Guinea Bissau.

ORIGINS

In 2001, Bernard Pangmashi and his family left Cameroon as missionaries to Togo. They started a Bible training school and from that planted churches. They served in Togo until June 2004.

Pray for

• Rev. Dosseh Takpale and Muslim outreach
• the leaders and churches
• the expanded church-planting work with its corresponding training program
• children attending two ICCM sponsored schools in Tchore and Limbrini; without these schools, there would be no opportunity to benefit from education

Teams

A team needed who could help conduct a youth camp. Team members would help with the various activities of the camp: some teaching (because French would be needed, teaching in English would be limited since a translator would be used), sports, drama, devotion times.
