Answer to Prayer

Christianity, particularly evangelical and Pentecostal, has grown rapidly since 1990. Evangelicals increased sevenfold from 1990 to 2010, growing from 2.7% to 10.7%. Praise God for the multiplication of Pentecostal and charismatic movements, fueled by the Holy Spirit and largely driven by West African pastors and evangelists.

The economic situation remains precarious. With little foreign investment and few natural resources, poverty is widespread and people are vulnerable to exploitation. Such poverty makes prostitution common and drives many orphans and unwanted children into the arms of human traffickers. Rich Muslim businesses entice young Christians to work there and eventually convert to Islam. Pray for Christians, locally and internationally, to stand firm despite such problems and to invest in creating ethical employment for the people of Togo.
