His difficult childhood, abuse, and struggles in school only drew the young man closer to God. Koffi & Christy Etsrou (Togo) discipled him first through the Good News Club, then through weekly Bible studies during his middle school years. He came to the Etsrous’ home every week to talk and to do ministry together. In high school, he led music and crafts at the VBS camps in three locations each summer, helped teach Bible stories at the Good News Clubs, and led devotions at the summer enrichment programs.
He would ask for Bibles so that he could share the gospel with his friends. When his cousin told him about his struggles, he led the cousin to Christ and brought him to church.
The young man is now in university in the capital city. Saddened that the neighborhood children don’t know anything about Jesus, he started teaching a small group of them whenever he could. He also organized a Good News Club with 30 children, and he excitedly sends to the Etsrou famly videos, messages, and pictures of the children hearing about the love of Jesus for the first time!
