Luke Ayers : Graduated 6/2012 from Lancaster High School in Lancaster, Ohio

2. This quarter we would like to highlight our missionaries Bruno & Amy Koumedjra who reside in Togo, Africa…..Togo is VERY small area in Africa which is not well develop yet like others. These two wonderful individuals along with their staff have raised with hard work from nothing a Church & School we can be proud of. My personal experience with them when they came in to the states & visited our assembly in Lancaster, Ohio was one of a kind. I never saw two down to earth & humble individuals like Bruno & Amy. As well, talk about a sermon….Bruno gave such an extradionary sermon which you never heard was full of spunk & he was so—alive. Normally, he gives his sermons in French but, being in the states was given in English. Now, talk about situations that happen in life…which is another test of Faith God puts us though in our paths. Recently, the Koumedjra’s & staff had to encountered being forced out their School & Church in a blink of an eye. Definitely, from experience I can say…in a third world countries laws is nothing like the states. After 6 months of darkness, thank to God they found a new place for their school at a started constructing the site for a hotel on a little over 4 plots of land(27,771 square feet). For American standards this seems small for a school but for Africa it is a great amount of space. Previous owners started cons- truction and left the following: already dug septic tanks, 8 small rooms in 4 separate unroofed buildings, a small 3 toilet room building, the starting foundation of a round pavillion, and the starting foundation of a surrounding wall, with lots of landroom to spare. However, they are compelled to ask for your financial assistance in sealing & covering the septic tanks & in connecting to the town water. This should cost around $3,800.00 dollars & I’m pleading all the saints out there to find it in your heart to contribute for our fellow brothers & sisters in Togo. Every little bit will help. Another exciting need is the project to start a church in Bruno’s village, where his dad, mom, & siblings. Bruno talked to his dad about it & he is willing to give them part of his land to use for the assembling together. Bruno’s dad came to him about 2 months ago & said that he has been telling people in the village that Bruno & Amy with staff will be coming to help start a church in the village. There used to be a church there that was started in 1996 but had collapsed. Pray fervently for the church to start there & for Bruno’s parents become Christians!
