Well, this month after much time, we were able to hang the roof on the garage out at Sarakawa where the construction equipment will be stored when not in use. The next step is to fabricate and hang the door followed by some windows, an exterior slab and the stucco.
About a month ago, I issued a challenge in the church. I said that if any one was willing to memorize 13 salvation themed verses that I had selected then I would give them a new Bible. I first started by handing out John and Roman N.T. which had the verses pre-highlighted. Last week after several weeks 
of the adults working on the verses privately, we had a special spontaneous time of reciting. The service was over yet the adults wanted to stay around and quote the passages. Surprisingly, everyone stayed to listen, even if they hadn’t memorized the verses. One by one twelve adults stood up and ten successfully recited all the verses.
This week, I arrived with ten brand new copies of God’s word to hand out. In the Sunday school hour we talked about the importance of God’s word then we took a couple minutes and had those that had memorized the passages to come forward to receive their Bibles. It was such a neat thing and a great accomplishment for many of the adults. Following this weeks we had three more adults stand before us and recite their verses. So next weekend we’ll be handing out some more Bibles.
It’s always great to see how the Lord’s people get excited and motivated to memorize, meditate and used God’s word!
Note: I would like to give a special thanks to all the wonderful folks at BEAMS and those that support BEAMS for making these copies of God’s word available free of charge to the people of Togo!
