“I was at Tom’s house last Friday. Their electricity had been cut off because they were unable to pay the bills, and a prayer meeting was planned at their house that evening,” reports Cosmos Touleassi from Togo, Western Africa.
“After we had praised God for a while, a couple arrived whose 2-year-old son had just died. They were crying and weeping in desperation. The dead boy’s mother heard us singing, and told her husband, ‘We have no money for the hospital’s morgue, so let’s go in and see whether God will do something.’ A Christian took the dead child in her arms, and Tom said ‘If these people bring the dead child to us, it means that they believe that God will do something.’ So we prayed for about 20 minutes, until Tom started to cry and finally said ‘The child is alive!’
The confusion was indescribable, as everyone excitedly thanked God for reviving the child. The parents decided to follow Jesus.” Swiss Vineyard’s Markus Moser adds: “Cosmos was a refugee in Switzerland a number of years ago. He became a missionary, returning to Togo six years before to plant new churches with the Vineyard. There are now over 30 house churches in Lome and central Togo.”
