It has approximately   6.2 million people.  The people of Togo speak mostly French.  But  the  official  languages  are  French  and  English . Other local languages include   Ewé ,  Mina  , Ouatchi  etc..... (in the south) and   Kabyè  , Cotocoli ,  tchokossi ,  Moba  etc.... (in the north).
Its capital city, Lome, has approximately 1.7  million people.  Lome was once a major tourist attraction, with its Southern end being the coast, but now the Tourists have dwindled to a small number.
Togo is a very poor country with 32% of its people below the poverty line. The average person living in Togo will live about 55 years.
About 65% of the people there are employed in commercial or subsistence farming. Cocoa, coffee, and cotton are the major crops.  In a normal year Togo can completely provide for itself, as far as foodstuffs go.  In industry, phosphate mining is the main activity.

I – Prisons Ministry
 
1- Strategy of work in jails of Togo .
 
First the ministries of the jails and orphanage started in TOGO since the year 2000 and controlled by pastor SIKA of which Jesus-Christ its foundation. We have national missionaries to follow the activities closely in every jail. In the jails the missionaries make biblical studies during 1 hour. The prisoners have 30 mn to ask some questions after the study. After the missionaries finish the session of the day with 1 hour prayer in favour of the prisoners.
On this day a lot of these prisoners confessed their sins and recognized Christ’s salvation work on the cross from where they became of new creatures. Today we have among them that aspire to work for God after they are released of the jail. And it is like that the Lord still driven us in the ministry in all jails.
 
2- Domiciliary visits of the missionaries to the released prisoners
 
In every jail we receive the addresses of contact of all prisoners that take part in our studies and we jealously protect these addresses because after the release of one them we are going to see him until his domicile where we continue the follow-up until his total integration in a Christian community where Christ is preached. Praise the Lord we manages to make this necessary integration to complete the ministry. It is to this level that work seems us a little difficult because of the means of displacements that are not again to our arrangements. But we count on God who provides all to accomplish better his ministry.
 
3- Our material contribution
 
In the ministry we opted to add to the spiritual the material. It is why we solicit by the friends and some people in TOGO the material helps as soaps, rice; the cassava flour, used dresses etc… for the prisoners. We can confirm today that this material contribution facilitation the ministry better again at our authorities as at the prisoners. We pray that God gives us more of opportunities again to make a lot of it.
 
4. Our needs
 
For a total success of this ministry we need:
 
1.     A prayer of our brothers and  sisters around the world.
 
2.     The visits of these brothers and sisters on our fields. This king  of  things   encourages us a lot.
 
3.     The supports for 15 national missionaries
 
4.     the transportation means like cars, motorcycles and bicycles
 
5- OUR  Project
 
We   have  an  ambition  and  vision  to  reach   also  the  republic of  BENIN    the  next  years .  We  are  looking  for  God's  blessings  by  your  prayers  and helps.  May  God  bless  you .
 
II – Orphanages Ministry
 
We work in the orphanages and the schools in favour of the orphans. We even have ourselves creates in 2006 an orphanage in a village named Agbodrafo in the prefecture of Yoto . We had left to evangelize the village when we had found necessary to create this center because of the pressing needs of these children. A lot of parents of these children had died without Christ. It was necessary to help these children first to know Christ then the other needs will find their satisfaction. Today the Lord is working in this village. In other villages of Togo there are the same cases but we are very limited because of our financial means. There are the Christian who want to imply themselves in the ministry but the means miss to some. For the other center we solicit the brothers and sisters always to come them in help but it always is insufficient. We need your prayers, your material supports and the support for 5 national missionaries .
