Sunday morning started out with services in Lome. Lome has a population of about 850,000, with it's metro area having around 1.5 million people. They estimated there are maybe 700 believers in Togo, living in the following locations: Lome, Adetikope, Amlakope, Sanguera, Dokplala, Game, Tchekpo, Ahepe, Tabligbo, Akumape, Kpalime, Atime, Kuoma, Bena Plateau, Badou and Kessibo.
Several people have asked if we visited Nicholas while here. Unfortunately for us, he was in Gambia on a mission trip. He did stop by our hotel briefly on Wednesday morning to say hello. It was fun to see him for that few minutes.
I tried to capture the surrounding scenery for some of these congregations . I have seen many pictures of the church buildings, but not the setting. The minivan driving down the street ended up being Ignace & Katie & family arriving for services!

It was so fun to see Ignace & Katie and their adorable children in this faraway country!
Some of the youth/ young adults from the Lome congregation. It seems like this congregation had quite a few youth and not so many families. Their Sunday school has about 20 students.
