A Stark Contrast

Jimmy and Michael have arrived in Atlanta and will be flying home this evening (Wednesday). Jerry also arrived in Togo safely. He was able to send a quick, brief note with the promise that he will try to write more in the days ahead.
I'm in interior Togo with Joseph at a planning and strategy meeting with missionaries. Joseph is the only Togolese pastor present. This speaks of his competence and abilities in the Lord, as well as the progress of the gospel here. The mission organization sees themselves as second generation – they help and support the national church.
We drove two and a half hours to get to this meeting. Along the way, we stopped several times to talk with Togolese pastors. Even this is another example of the progress of spreading the gospel message in Thico, Togo. It stands in stark contrast to the beginning work I just left in another part of Africa.
