Story
James & Jenna met while completing a year-round internship for a youth camp ministry in the mountains of North Carolina. They both had a heart for missions long before they met. Early in their relationship, the Lord has continued to grow a great desire for them to take the Gospel to those who have never heard. When the Lord provided the opportunity for James & Jenna to go to Togo, West Africa they knew and had such a peace that this is where the Lord was calling them to go.The Roberts were officially deployed to Togo in summer of 2022. Since then the Lord has also given them two children, a son and a daughter, Micah & Sadie.
The Need
The spiritual climate in Togo is dark. Togo is the birthplace of voodoo. It has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. The majority of the population in Togo actively practices voodoo and witchcraft. The Togolese are not mistaken on who they are worshipping. They are aware that they are worshipping Satan, and that their limited power comes from him. The Togolese live in a constant state of fear of the idols that they and their families serve.
The vast majority of the Togolese have never heard a clear presentation of the gospel in their entire lives. They do not know who Jesus is or the power he has of Satan and his demons. We must engage with and train up this next generation of leaders to follow the one true God.
The Vision
The Roberts alongside other global workers in the 6 Degree Initiative have the privilege of partnering with national leaders. They labor together to make disciples who make other disciple makers, to see a church planted in every village that has no church, and see communities transformed by the power of the gospel. This takes place through specific projects geared toward developing the pastors and national leaders. James and Jenna also have the opportunity to be a part of developing the next generation through developing young leaders who lead camp and youth ministries in their specific church plants.
