We've redesigned our site with the same important content, but we've added some new features to help you learn more about God’s work in the region and discover how you can get involved. New material includes West Africa music, news stories and the video/photo gallery, but more is on the way in coming weeks!
Feature Story
Despite illness, missionary couple faithfully spreads gospel
Ray used to walk from hut to hut to visit villagers, but because of his health he can no longer walk long distances.
So, God provides people to come to him. In one village he preached to a crowd gathered around him and more than 25 people became believers that day.
At 70 years-old, International Mission Board missionary Ray Eitelman and his wife, Patsy, have served more than 33 years in West Africa, first in the Upper Volta (now called Burkina Faso), and currently in northern Togo. They have planted more than 160 churches in countless villages and will continue training locals to plant churches until their retirement next year.
