Overview:

Influenced by neighboring Benin, the birthplace of voodoo, persecution against Christians occurs primarily in the north of Togo, where voodooists and animists oppose the church because they see it as a threat to their power and influence. Members of the Muslim Fulani tribe who choose to follow Christ also experience opposition from their families and communities.

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray for Abraham, who was beaten by people who practice sorcery because he placed his faith in Christ.
  • Many Togolese follow traditional religions. Pray that they will be set free from spiritual bondage.
  • Pray for the safety of Christians threatened by militant Fulani Muslims.
  • About 42% of Togolese are Christians. Pray that they will live boldly for Christ.
  • Pray for Togolese missionaries who are working to reach people in remote areas with the gospel.
