Ihave spent almost the entirety of this month preparing for my departure to Togo. In between working, vacation bible school,and saying goodbye, I have been in a packing frenzy! :) Godhas truly blessed me in thesepreparations and I am so ex-cited to begin my service on August 7th. In June, I attendedLCMS World Mission Orienta-tion at Concordia University inSt. Paul, MN with 42 otherlong-term and career mission-aries beginning their servicethis year. This training was anaffirmation and encouragementof God’s call for me to serve inTogo. Togo, officially known asthe Togolese Republic, is lo-cated between Ghana and Benin while settled beneath BurkinaFaso on the Atlantic Coast of French-speaking West Africa.Togo became independent fromFrance in 1964 and LCMS World Mission began work there in 1980. The LutheranChurches in Africa are in needof well-trained leaders and pas-tors. Togo is home of the Lu-theran Center for TheologicalStudies (CLET) which servesthe need of the church in Togo,Ivory Coast, Guinea, Benin,Burkina Faso, Congo, and theDemocratic Republic of theCongo. So what’s my part inthis amazing ministry? Rev.Glenn Fluegge heads the lead-ership of the CLET and livesin Togo with his wife Susanand their five children, Sam-uel, Abigail, Caleb, Jesse, andEliana. With my college de-gree and my experience work-
