Vision Casting Trip to Togo

Jeff and Marci Holley will be making an exploratory, vision casting and future planning trip to Togo from January 22^nd – 31^st.   They are excited about another family who is being led to partner with us in Togo.  They have always felt that it would be a huge blessing to have another family go to Togo with them for support and encouragement.  We are thrilled to announce that Kirsten Haviland-Phillips will be going in January with them.  You can read more about how God is leading the Haviland-Phillips family in her personal  message below.

We would like to ask you for your prayers and support for this upcoming trip. The cost of this trip will be approximately $4,500.  If the Lord leads you to support them on this trip, you can contact Jeff at 918-350-0205 or make a donation through our website at www.visiononward.org.  Make sure you note that the donation is for Togo.

We thank you in advance for your prayers and support!

God Bless!

Greetings fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The Lord has placed it on my family’s heart to team up with Vision Onward / Togo, Africa.  We are hoping to join them in Togo to help make this vision come to fruition.  In doing so, we feel it is important for me to go to Togo, Africa in January of 2011 with the Holley’s to help prepare myself and our six children for third world conditions.  This trip will help determine if we will be moving over to Togo in due season.  Please come along the side of the Haviland-Phillips family in prayer for wisdom and strength.  Thank you for your prayer and support.

Serving Jesus,

Kirsten Haviland-Phillips

Christian Missionary Center (CMC)

A HEART FOR TOGO AND THE NATIONS

Statement of Purpose:

Let us consider that each Christian is called to become Christ’s disciple, an important agent in the fulfillment of Christ’s mission on earth (Matthew 28:19-20); let us consider Jesus as the only model and example to follow by each Christian or Christ’s disciple; let us consider “a student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher” (Luke 6:40); let us consider Jesus during his ministry on earth as he was assigned to a specific and clear mission to fulfill the preaching of the good news to the poor, the proclamation of the freedom to the prisoners, the recovery of sight for the blind and the proclamation of the year of the Lord’s favor (Luke 4:18-19). . . . . . .Christian Missionary Center (CMC) is created to fulfill that purpose.

Plan and Strategy:

A. Evangelism: CMC’s main goal is to bring people to the full knowledge of our Savior Jesus Christ and to help them to become in their turn an agent in the announcing and proclamation of God’s word of grace.

B. Spiritual Maturity – CMC plans to build a church for the purpose of preparing and equipping people with a solid foundation of their faith in Christ.

C. Spiritual Formation – CMC plans the construction of a ‘Bible Institute’ to prepare those who have a desire to pursue their pastoral vocation.

1.  Orphanage
2. Medical Clinic
