The Position
We are looking for someone who is able to help us manage a university center that we are starting where we will use English Conversation groups based around biblical themes such as Family, Forgiveness, Grace, Conflict, Honor, etc… to help develop relationships that will lead to disciple-making opportunities among the Unreached and Under-engaged in our region of Togo.
This means daily participating at our University Center helping direct conversation groups, connect students online for their university classes, guide them to helpful English resources, and lead Story of Hope groups. You need to be familiar with the Story of Hope, Know how to speak English (Grammar expertise not necessary, our whole team is from the south), and have great patience.
Any business skills that are available for training in entrepreneurship and business practices as well as English Business Language are also added resources that open more doors. All masters level students in the business and economy program at the university are required to know conversational English.
The Need
In our region we have over 875,000 unreached and un/under-engaged people, mostly Muslim, among which little to nothing is being done. This does not include at least 4 uncounted people groups that also number over 100,000 more people. The university in our city has over 21,000 students many of whom come from these unreached people groups. We are opening a university center focused on the two largest unreached people groups in our region through the means of English Conversation Groups, Leadership Development, and University Assistance for diaspora people.
We currently only have 1 family and 1 single in our region who are focusing on this vast number of unreached people. We need people who are dedicated to come, serve, love, build relationships, suffer with people, and share their faith with Muslims who have never heard of Jesus. This will take patience and great grace to walk some very difficult roads with our friends as God reaches them and then uses them to plant churches among their own people groups.
The Impact
We are responsible for the two regions with the largest amount of unreached people groups and yet we are the smallest team. ABWE established a few churches in one area and now we are attempting to eliminate the gospel depravation that is so prevalent throughout the rest of this area. The ultimate goal is to see churches planted in the most resistant areas of our country by people who come to know the Savior while studying at the university. If we don’t reach them there and if we don’t reach them now then how will their people know of the redeeming love of our savior? This is fresh, entry level work that will lead to church planting as disciples are made. Come be apart of something new and fresh in Togo. Come help us reduce Gospel Depravation in Central Togo.
