News from Fellowship of Evangelical Students of TOGO Activity-report of September to October 2007 Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, Receive our fraternal greetings in our Lord Jesus Christ. Here is a brief account of the life of our movement during these last two months. The beginning of term planned earlier to be held on the 17th of September had been postponed by our government and has been effective on Wednesday 17th of October 2007. This delay has been observed because of the flood which took place in the northern part of our country. During this sinister, a lot of classrooms and houses had been destroyed by water. The people who lost their houses were obliged to take refuge in the schools which had not been touched by the catastrophe. So it took some time to fix everything again. In the Maritime region, a training seminar on the evangelism bible study has been held on the 06th of October 2007 at the head office of our movement. About fifteen students were present. This training seminar was intended to give to our participants what has been learned during the training on bible study held in Ouagadougou in August 2007. It was a training seminar in which some of our members participated. So it was those participants who animate the seminar of 6th October. Still in Maritime region, another seminar has been held at the head office of the movement on Saturday 27th October 2007. It was about the management of the students’ fellowships. The main speaker was Rosine AGRIPPA, the itinerant secretary of this region. The 18th of October 2007, the students’ fellowship of the University of Lomé has started officially its activities for the academic year 2007-2008. The opening ceremony has been a solemn meeting held in one of the lecture theaters of the campus. In the Central region of our country, a training seminar on the Bible study has been held on Saturday 27th October in Sokodé. About twenty students were present. The speaker was sister BOTOSSI Brénam who is a newcomer in this northern part of our country. She went there to help to manage and to train the students’ fellowships. From 22nd to 26th of October 2007, our movement observed its prayer and evangelism week which has become a tradition since some years. According to the partial reports we get, the members of the students’ fellowship of the University of Lomé would organised themselves in trios within the context of this prayer and evangelism week. In Sokodé, a movie picture projection has been organised in the Modern High School of this town. It is the biggest and oldest high school of the town. The prayer and evangelism week will end on the 1st of November 2007 with a national day of prayer and fasting. In every town of our country, meetings have been planned for prayer. Prayer requests: We are inviting every one of us to thank the Lord for: - The different seminars which have been organised by our movement and which have been a blessing for our ministry. - The prayer and evangelism week which has been effective even though all our students’ fellowships could not observe it because of the delay in the reopening of school. - The project of a better management of our students’ fellowships of the northern part of our country. The project is effective and has caused the departure of our sister BOTOSSI Brénam for that region. She is in charge of the Bible study Department of our movement. The experimental stage of this project will last 6 months. - The gradual resumption of the activities within our students’ fellowships. We are inviting every one of us to pray for: - The school year 2007-2008. We need the hand of the Lord to reach our goals. - The strengthening of the souls gained during the prayer and evangelism week. (we can not give you now any number) - All the staff of our movement (local and national) in order that each one will give the best of himself and be more effective during this school year. We want to close this report by thanking every one of you for your participation in this ministry. May the Lord bless you and sustain you while you are struggling to sustain his work. Lomé, 1st November 2007 The General Secretary Jacques TOKO.
