Ivory Coast Missionaries transferred

by dad

Last month Ivory Coast had presidential elections, in which two candidates declared themselves the winner (which has made things there a little exciting). Political instability, clashes and the threat of military intervention following the disputed elections, have prompted the Church to move its non-African missionaries serving in the Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) Abidjan Mission, to the french speaking countries of Togo and Benin. These countries are both to the east of Ghana (see map in the right column).

No missionaries from Ghana have been relocated. Alex says Ghana continues to be a very safe place for the missionaries.

On a lighter note, Alex recently spent time in Takoradi at the market. He says it can get pretty exciting there.
