Togo

Now that we have the nice tag cloud down on the left of the screen, we can see which countries get mentioned more often here.  This mostly has to do with who blogs more often, and which countries have more bloggers, and so on.

But today we’re going to use that tag cloud to focus on the countries that aren’t there – the countries that are mentioned less here at Missionary Blog Watch.  Here’s the first sample…

Appliances and Moving to Togo

Jesse and Tiffany Shanks have had their frustrations trying to get appliances that they can use in Togo. After all, you’ve got to find them, get them where they’re going, and of course pay for them all!

After ordering their appliances, they got an unexpected surprise which they just called Training for Togo. Then, God gave them a little reminder that He still had things under control – read about it in Providing, again.

The Shanks would appreciate your prayers as they plan to board the plane for Togo on February 3rd. Those appliances still need to arrive! You can read more of their latest prayer requests right here.
