From September 21–27, 2025, our Fishbait team in partnership with the 10/40 Project traveled to Togo for a week of medical missions and community outreach. The purpose of the trip was twofold: to provide physical healing through medical care and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, offering spiritual healing and hope to those they served.

The journey began with the team’s arrival at Camp Hope, where members prepared supplies and oriented themselves for the week ahead. This preparation helped ensure that the clinics would run smoothly and that the team was unified in both medical service and ministry.

The mission centered on a series of medical clinics hosted by local church plants:

• Bame Church – The very first church plant, begun five years ago in a simple hut (still pictured on the 10/40 Project website), has grown into a vibrant ministry. It now runs a K–6 school with 210 students, adding a grade each year until full completion. The church also operates a well, a feeding center, and a meat processing center. At the medical clinic here, the team saw 126 patients, and 56 people dedicated their lives to Christ.

• Kapala Church – A one-year-old rural plant, Kapala has already established a well, a feeding center, and a church building. At this clinic, the team treated 168 patients, and 93 people dedicated their lives to Christ. Later that evening, the team also joined a Ladies’ Bible Study at Annanissimé Church.

• Tsiviépé Church – This three-year-old suburban church plant is a growing hub for ministry. Just before the team’s arrival, approximately one thousand people, mostly children, gathered in the courtyard for a festival rehearsal. During the clinic, the team cared for 137 patients, and 23 people dedicated their lives to Christ.

• Annanissimé Church – This church plant, equipped with a well and feeding center, has faced severe spiritual opposition. A local Voodoo witch doctor had threatened to kill the pastor, yet the team visited him and his five wives to show the love and grace of Christ. At the medical clinic, the team served 150 patients, and 23 more people dedicated their lives to Christ.

Friday was set aside as a Cultural and Ministry Day. Team members visited the artisan market, shared lunch in the community, and enjoyed fellowship before attending a church service in the evening. This time provided cultural connection, reflection on the week’s ministry, and preparation for the journey home.

Throughout the trip, the Camp Hope team sought to embody the love of Christ in both word and deed. By addressing physical needs through medical care and spiritual needs through prayer, devotions, and the proclamation of the Gospel, the mission brought holistic healing. In total, 581 patients were treated, and 145 people dedicated their lives to Christ. The week in Togo stood as a testimony to faith in action—offering health, hope, and the message of Christ to communities that are growing, thriving, and persevering under the power of the Gospel.
