Recordist Training Report from Togo, Africa. March/April 2017 Global Recordings Network UK. Charity no: 266476

Hi there and hope you are well. Here's a short report of my recent trip to Lome, Togo in Africa.

I had never known much about Togo & was excited to go there & meet the people. I was helping

with the up-grade training of some of

our recordists from Africa. They were

Joshua & Edward from Nigeria, Moses &

David from Sierra Leone, Justin from

Cameroon & Atta from Togo. Also part

of our training team were supervisors

Frederick from Sierra Leone & James

from Kenya. The other teachers were

Jon from Thailand & Anton from South

Africa. The temperature was in the high

30s for much of our time & quite humid.

It was a very busy time with the students very

keen to learn new skills & techniques to comply

with our Global Recordings Network recording

standards. We focused a lot on the practical

field recording work, computer editing & pro-

gramming. We also spent lots of time on paper-

work & documentation for newly recorded lan-

guages, for submitting to the GRN Studios.

Fellowship times every morning were great with

singing in many different languages & sharing testimony's each day. We know how difficult it can

be as a recordist missionary going into many difficult & dangerous situations that the enemy

doesn't always like. Yes there is a spiritual battle going on to keep people in darkness. The re-

cordists are often on the sharp end of these attacks of the enemy. That's why prayer & encour-

agement are essential for our teams from our prayer partners & supporters. Please pray for all

our recording teams & the work they do.

In between lessons in the sunshine.

We attended a lovely African style church & loved the beautiful singing, dancing & the

amazing colours all the people wear. They welcomed us so warmly & Jon our co-ordinator

preached & shared with the people about the work of GRN.

We are very thank-

ful to John the

Togo director & his

wife Yolande for

the wonderful hos-

pitality that they &

their team showed

us.

On our final eve-

ning in Lome, we

had a great cele-

bration graduation-

for all the students & soon it was all over & we began to get ready to fly home to our own

countries. It was a blessed time. Thank you for praying & thinking of us while we were away.

One of our students while given his testimony shared from Jeremiah 1 v 4-8. “Before I

formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you

as a prophet to the nations....You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I

command you...” GRN. ”Telling the Story of Jesus in Every Language”. God Bless you.
