We will have multiple Zoom meetings with 6 Degree Initiative leaders to build the vision and the practical experiences once on the ground in Togo.
Training will include how to engage with locals in a “red village” and how to lead into a spiritual discussion.
The Trip Experience
We will be training young, next-generation Togolese camp leaders (13-25 years old) for 2-3 days before they work at a series of youth camps with the intent to stir up a new age of Christ-followers.
Leadership development will focus on wisdom and humility as these students learn how to reflect the heart of Christ.
We will visit unreached people groups in several villages to get to know them, hear their stories, and learn about their culture. We will also look for opportunities to share our stories and faith, plant seeds of hope and life, and pray for them.
MEET YOUR TEAM LEADER
Tim Trezise & Bob Bakke
Jesus taught, “Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of God.” Join us for a week in one of the smallest nations of West Africa, the Togolese Republic, to explore and experience Jesus’ message about his kingdom. Known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant music, and tasty cuisine, “Togo” is also one of the poorest nations in the world, with a dark history of slave trade. Its population is slightly less than 50% Christian, with the remaining practicing Voodoo, Tribalism, or Islam. We will be serving with missionaries from Converge and The Timothy Initiative who work to train and develop disciples among the youth to help strengthen the leadership among the existing and future churches.
