Over half of the people of Togo are
animists. There is also an increasing
Muslim influence in the country. Many
mosques have been built and Muslim
countries are investing heavily in Togo.
With this spiritual context in mind, they
will be working with a Togolese church
called Ministère International de Jésus
(M.I.J.) and taking part in:
Bible teaching and evangelism training
Street outreach; evangelistic events
Alpha and marriage courses
Working with others to establish
a church in Dapaong.
Over the last few years Sena and Jane
have been working at the Eglise de
Belleville in Paris. Sena has been
leading youth and student work and
Jane has been leading Alpha and
discipleship courses. They have two
young children, Joshua and Eloise.
