LCMS World Mission has supported Lutheran congregations in Burkina Faso and theological education for their leaders since 2000. Missionaries living and serving in Dapaong, Togo, have taught at the Lutheran Center for Theological Studies, which trains students from Burkina Faso and other French-speaking West African countries. A Liberian refugee who has planted churches in Burkina Faso was among one of the first groups of students to study in the three-year pastoral track at the Center.
Currently, the Center serves the French-speaking West African Lutheran church bodies of seven countries: Togo, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Benin, Burkina Faso, Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. |
