This past weekend, we had time to get out and about a bit. On Saturday, we took some Swiss visitors to the beach, because they "wanted to dip their feet in the Atlantic Ocean." It was windy, though, and we had underestimated the size and strength of the waves, so we all got rather soaked in the process.
On Sunday, Reine and Geneviève took me for a drive, two hours inland, on roads that were full of huge potholes, but which were bordered on either side by vegetation that was lush and green after the recent rainy season. They were taking me to see the Youth with a Mission centre in Agou, where YWAM and King's Kids first started in Togo. Built to last, by German missionaries, the base was "lent" to Youth with a Mission in the 1980s and has been a YWAM training centre ever since. It sits on the slope of Togo's highest mountain, Mount Agou (which, at just under a thousand metres, is not really very high at all.) Previous PCYM schools were held in Agou, before the KKI ministry moved south to the city of Lomé about six years ago.
