Our Mission to Togo

To bring doctors, medical professionals, and other Christ-followers to provide life-saving medical care and share the gospel:

Objective 1

Share the Gospel With the Unreached

We brought solar audio Bibles and divided them between each of the four communities we served. These audio Bibles allow villagers to hear the Word of God in their native language, making the gospel much more accessible.

Objective 2

Connect With Local Medical Partners

MPFC facilitated relationships between the communities we served and local partners on the ground so that each community will continue to receive tools and medical education. The goal is for successful and thriving communities.

Objective 3

Provide Life-saving Medical Care

The goal of our medical mission trip to Togo was to make healthcare accessible to underserved and unreached communities. We were blessed to be able to treat nearly 2500 patient during our time there!

Our Team

We had an incredible and diverse team of volunteers to help meet the needs of the villagers we saw at our clinics. In total, we had 55 team members ranging in age from mid-20s to 60s and hailing from around the world from nations like the USA, Nigeria, Benin, and more!

Highlights From The Trip

Salvation, medical care, and other answers to prayer.

Providing Life Saving Medical Care in Burundi

Highlight 1

One of the village kings whose community we served in November 2023 asked the local missionary to meet with him regularly for Bible study. He wants to know more about the Bible.

We hope our MPFC community will pray that he has a continuous hunger to know more and that he opens his heart to Christ and in turn leads his community to Christ.

New leaders

Highlight 2

We worked with our local partner to identify four people, who exhibit leadership potential, to be mentored to take on a leadership role in their communities as part of a five-year program designed to empower underserved communities.

This program focuses on five different components to empower each person in the community:

  • Access to clean water
  • Primary-level school for all children
  • Health education for all
  • Resources for sustainable family income
  • Access to nutritious food to end malnutrition and hunger

Highlight 3

Hundreds of previously unreached villagers heard the gospel and accepted Jesus as their Savior!

We saw 77 people give their lives to Christ during our time ministering in Togo. Since we’ve left, we have gotten word that an additional three hundred eighty-five have accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

Praise God!

Thank you to all who support this trip through prayer and financial support!

All four villages have access to a VIP pit latrine (toilet) that will improve sanitation and keep people healthy.
