Togo —
December 31, 2008, was an incredible day for missions in Africa! For several weeks, a team of pilots and airplane mechanics has been working to make our long-stored airplane in Togo flight worthy. Together as missionaries and Togolese brothers and sisters, we celebrated as we gathered to dedicate the plane to the Lord for His work. Afterwards, we watched as our revamped plane took off and soared through the air without a hitch!
This newly dedicated airplane will be used to transport medical personnel between our hospital in the south and the new Wendell Kempton Medical and Ministry Center planned for construction in northern Togo. As the director of literature distribution, I will be able to take advantage of opportunities to send Bibles, gospel tracts, and other needed literature to the north. The plane will also be available for emergency flights and other ministries.
ABWE missionary Sharon Rahilly and I got to be the first passengers in ABWE Togo’s airplane. From our vantage point, we could see the Karolyn Kempton Memorial Hospital compound and the surrounding village and farmlands from the air. It was a truly moving experience!
Your prayers for the ministries of Togo are so much appreciated. It is prayer and the Lord’s answers that have brought us to this point in our aviation ministry.
