Kotokoli in Togo


Kotokoli in Togo

The Kotokoli live in the West African countries of Togo, Ghana and Benin. They emigrated from what is now Burkina Faso into the Sokode region during the 1600s and 1700s. In time, the Kotokoli developed a reputation for sharp and perhaps underhanded dealings in trade. Kotokolis are growing in numbers and in their social, economic and political impact. The Kotokoli are primarily farmers, growing sorghum and yams as their staple crops. Most of the Kotokoli live in houses that have round mud walls, with dirt floors and cone-shaped, thatched straw roofs. Kotokoli marriages are usually arranged by the parents while the boy and girl are still infants.

Ministry Obstacles

The Kotokoli are committed Muslims who are not open to spiritual conversations about salvation by grace.

Outreach Ideas

Christian medical teams, aid workers and teachers may have the greatest opportunity to share the love of Jesus with the Kotokoli in practical ways.

Scripture Focus

"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."  James 1:12

Scripture Prayer

Pray that the believers in today’s people group patiently endure their afflictions and share the good news with others.

Prayer Focus

Ask God to send forth long-term missionaries into West Africa to work among the Kotokoli. Pray for a movement to Christ among Kotokoli family leaders that will spread far and deep. Pray that God would give the few Kotokoli believers boldness to share Christ with their friends and families, and that this may start a movement to God.
