Under the leading of the Holy Spirit, my wife and I made a one-month trip to Togo from December 2016 to January 2017. The same week we landed in Togo we went to a retreat camp for three days for fasting and prayer with a select group of praying believers. We started sharing our vision for a ministry built on 24-hour prayer.
Maison de Prière, the “House of Prayer”
In the second week after our three days of the retreat, we were offered a small lot of land in Lomé to start a prayer ministry.
Sharing the vision of ministry built on 24-hour prayer
With the help of God, in 2017 we have invested in building a sanctuary that can hold 150 to 200 people.
We had our first church launch on Sunday December 3rd, 2017 in Lomé, the capital city.
The church is called “House of Prayer,” led by local pastors. Right now, about seventy people gather in the new church building in Lomé every Sunday to worship together. The church is growing and active throughout the week with noontime prayer meetings, evening prayer, door to door evangelism, and bible studies.
Under our leadership, another group of people has grown to an open-air church of 50 or more believers. They are meeting in Kpalime, a city 72.5 mile from Lomé.
