Let’s BEGIN in the MIDDLE

The challenge of telling a story in  motion is knowing at what point to begin!  I suppose this time, I should just  jump right in the middle.

In 2006, Women Serving God (WSG ) began serving  in the French speaking  African countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Togo.  In French, Women Serving God is: 

Femmes au Service de Dieu

Through the venue of Teacher Training Workshops – our WSG team has travelled to all of these countries teaching lessons on …

Bible study methods

Teacher training techniques

Storytelling

Small group discipleship

Teaching oral learners

Servant Leadership

 

In the last few weeks, the WSG team in  the coastal city of Lomé , Togo, led  workshops in the towns of  Kara, Sotouboua,  Pagala (68 km w. of Sotouboua), and Dapaong teaching a total of 168 women representing 55 churches!

These women have eagerly followed Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 2:2 … “ the things that you have heard me say … entrust to reliable  men who will also be qualified to teach others.”

They are reaching women whom we cannot reach, so that all will  be strengthened in their faith, grow in the Christlikeness, and become a blessing in their homes and communities!

There are so many to thank  for ministry such as this.  My first thank you goes to the Lord Jesus Christ, who has called me to continue the ministry He had while on earth.  And not only does He call, He enables. We  jumped into the on going ministry the women already were doing in Togo – adding teaching materials, teaching helps,  and instruction in godly living.  It is really  like  sowing seeds.  We add seeds, others water, God causes the growth.   

Thank you for sending me!

Many of you have contributed to the African women’s work in Togo and other countries.  Because of your gifts, they have had funds to travel, to print materials for the teaching sessions, as well as aid women and children who are suffering.

As you view the picture of their recent teaching workshops, see if you can guess where this team cut their costs!  The answer will be on the web album. Check out the TOGO – WSG album.   https://picasaweb.google.com/113807244223252897201  

Until next time ….

Joyfully serving the Savior,
