April 2022 Report
I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for having accompanied us throughout the month. May the Almighty grant us all his blessings. Especially that the lord our prayers for the students are doing well as well as the teachers. Most of them are suffering from malaria. Please remember the school in your daily prayer.
Evangelization on Fridays:
"Bringing salvation to the nations" is a word of Christ to the apostle Paul and for future Christian generations: so it is imperative that all villages and cities, campanes and can hear the message of salvation by the students of BVBI. On Fridays we will go to the villages, houses and workplaces for the spreading of the gospel. For the Friday of the month the evangelization was in the village of YOH at 6 km with 3 baptized young boys.
Public evangelization:
The Togolese authorities have authorized public gatherings as before the pandemic. It is the first public evangelization campaign with projection of Jesus' films in the public place authorized by the local authorities, on April 14, 15, 16 and 17 in AMOUSSOUKOPE, 3 days of evangelization from house to house and each evening a projection of Jesus' film (the passion of Christ) and the 4th day it is the worship. During the evangelization campaign, 5 people were baptized, including a woman converted from the Assembly of God church. She is a mother of 3 children and her husband works in a company in Lomé.
Seminar:
Every first Monday of the month, area evangelists meet for 6 hours of study from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. The topics that are covered are problems that evangelists most often encounter either in evangelism or in the church. The theme is chosen to help evangelists know the will of Christ on the subject: denominations accept and baptize polygamists, and this influences our churches and during house to house evangelism. There are polygamists who want to stay with several wives but are baptized without repentance of the sin of polygamy. To solve this problem, this is the topic we deal with in the seminars every first of the month until all students and evangelists have a detailed knowledge of the subject. The wives of the evangelists are involved in this seminar.
Theme: "The Law of Moses, Jesus, and marriage, divorce and remarriage
Text: Mark 10:3
Baptisms :
8 souls that the Lord added to the church of Christ in April.
Planting of a church:
A team of students and some evangelists are studying with a group of 4 families in KPELE-KONDA. A couple is baptized and they worship with this family every Sunday.
Needs:
With the rainy season it is difficult in some places to do the service when it rains. For the new church planted in TEMEDJA, there is a place and also the woods. We need 400.000f (four hundred thousand francs) to make a shed, the assembly counts more than 25 baptized and 10 visitors every Sunday.
