Taking the Truth to the Tambermas
The LIGHT is shining in the darkness, and the darkness is disappearing! For many
years the Tamberma people have lived in fear and have been enslaved to fetish
worship, but that is changing as the Good News of Jesus Christ has reached this
tribe. Realizing that sacrificing to fetishers and drinking tchouk are not the answers
to their problems, many are turning to the TRUTH!
God is building His church in this village in the north of Togo, east of Kante, and we
praise God for those who are committed to evangelize, disciple, and train leaders.
Please continue to PRAY for those who are still in darkness to come to the
Light--JESUS!
What are the needs?

Christian Schools
Imagine being a teacher in a classroom of 90 1st graders! Imagine being a student in
this classroom. Then imagine that you don't understand a word being spoken
because you've spoken a tribal language all your life and school is all in French.
Imagine being taught to memorize and repeat songs, poems, and sentences that you
don't have a clue what they mean. Imagine instead of getting helped to find the
right answer, getting punished for giving a wrong answer. Imagine having no books
and copying everything the teacher writes on the board. Well in Togo these are not
imaginations-- they are realities.
God has burdened our hearts to begin Christian schools -- to teach about God and
His Word in every subject of school. We believe that children are precious in God's
sight and they are treasures to be loved and nurtured. The task is huge, but we
have begun training Christian school teachers. Each school year 17 churches send us
one teacher to be trained. So far 1st and 2nd grade teachers have been discipled
and trained to reach the kids in their class for Christ.
Would you please PRAY for the teacher trainers as they teach and write
curriculum and textbooks?
Would you please PRAY for the teachers who are making a difference in
their villages?
Would you consider GIVING a kind gift for the printing of textbooks and
other expenses?
And if you're a teacher and God is burdening your heart to help us train
Togolese believers or to write textbooks, please contact me at
rpoteat@abwe.cc
AIDS Ministry
Each day in a village in Togo one person dies of AIDS. Statistics say that
in 15 years whole villages will be wiped out because of the disease. God
has called us to give the message of HOPE-- Jesus Christ to these who are
dying. Each Monday and Thursday, we visit AIDS patients in their homes
or at the contagious ward at the local hospital and we do evangelistic
Bible studies with them. We cannot give them medicine to cure this
disease-- so far there is no known cure, but we can share with them that
Jesus died and paid the debt for all of their sins and if they receive Him as
their Savior, they will have eternal life forever in Heaven where they will
suffer no longer.
Please PRAY that God would show you His heart for this ministry and
what part He would want you to have in encouraging these patients.
