This past Easter weekend we had a great time in Lossa Bas. It started on Saturday morning when I met up at the church with several young people. We took some time to pray before heading out with Bibles and tracts. En route, my group met up with several folks who had no idea what the true meaning of Easter Sunday was. Togo tends to be very religious but when it comes to the significance of Easter many tend to be in the dark to as what it's really all about. So, I was able to spend about 40 minutes with one couple just explaining that Christ came to be the ultimate Sacrifice for mankind. That he through his death provided a full pardon from sin for all those that would believe. Sadly the couple wasn't willing or ready to accept Christ but it was still a great opportunity to share our faith. We, of course, invited them to church and on Easter Sunday "Resurrection Sunday" we had a great gathering with some guests. We were able to finish up our series on "The Crucifixion of Christ" which has flashcards with it. The Togolese absolutely love flashcards. Many of them don't have electricity or televisions so they aren't so numb to visuals that these would seem archaic. Instead, they thrive on the visuals. So, it was awesome to show them the pictures of Christ death, burial and resurrection then explain the significance.
Ministry in Togo sometime is much more simplistic then in the US but we praise God for the great weekend that He gave us and how He was exhausted in all that we did.
