The last command of our Lord on earth is recorded in Matthew chapter 28 when he commands “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you…” (verses 19 and 20).

Togo is not a country we hear much about. When I first heard that there were prospective mission partners who had a passion to work in Togo I confess I had to reach for my old school atlas. In case your atlas is not to hand, Togo is in West Africa between Ghana on the west, Benin on the east and Burkina Faso in the north. The more I’ve read and heard about Togo, the more I appreciate the deep need to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to a country where over 50% of the population are described as following traditional African religions. I’m delighted that Sena and Jane Ounate Lare are able to tell you about Togo and the plans they have to work there next year. If you want to know more about Sena and Jane with a view to supporting them, please email me or contact one of the Crosslinks offices

The rest of the magazine provides another cross-section of life in Crosslinks with a look at what it’s like to be at a Bible College in Tanzania; a briefing on “Other Faiths” ministry; a focus on the work of our president Chris Wright and some great photos from the youth camps in Ulster.

Our passion to make disciples of all nations lies at the heart of everything we do.

Enjoy the magazine!

Yours in Christ
