Togo

Togo, officially the Togolese Republic, is a small West African nation on the Gulf of Guinea — bordered by Ghana to the west, Benin to the east, and Burkina Faso to the north. The capital city is Lomé.

• Estimated population: approximately 9.6 million
• Major ethnic groups: Ewe, Mina, and Kabyè
• Languages: French (official), with Ewe and Kabiye widely spoken

• Agriculture is the backbone — yams, cassava, cocoa, and related work employ much of the population
• Phosphate mining: Togo holds some of the world’s major phosphate deposits and contributes strongly to GDP
• Economic challenges include high poverty rates, aid dependency, and vulnerability to commodity price swings

• Colonial history: a German protectorate from 1884; after World War I it was divided into British and French zones (French Togoland)
• Independence from France on April 27, 1960
• Long authoritarian rule under Gnassingbé Eyadéma (from 1967); his son Faure Gnassingbé has been president since 2005
• Internal political unrest and election tensions continue to shape national life

As with our other Revival outreaches, we purposely work with local pastors and religious leaders in Togo well in advance of our Crusades, during the Revivals, and afterwards. Upcoming work remains strategic with both finances and time.

Open-air crusades (city and remote), church healing and salvation revivals, and personal outreach.
