Kouami Midekor, Togo

Many activities flourished during the year 2022, with many baptismal services in the following areas:

The church at Barkoissi baptized 12 people in January. These services were testimonies to the church and also to the community where the church is located. Many Muslims came to assist and appreciated the difference between Christianity and Islam. Bakiossi is a town with a great population of Muslims.
The church at Bangeli also has new baptized believers added to the membership of the congregation. About 7 people were baptized in that church.

Why FCA?

I have always had a heart to see the youth grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. I started volunteering at Braden Middles School as an FCA huddle leader and fell in love with this ministry.
