Jessy Togba-Doya
Location: Liberia
Hometown: Bong County , Liberia (Jessy)
Commissioned: 2006
In rural Liberia, Jessy (and wife Calandra)Togba-Doya are empowering a community and being the presence of Christ through education and economic development ministries.
In 2006, Jessy helped open an elementary school as one of their first ministry projects in Liberia. They’ve also started a micro-loan project to help break the cycle of poverty.
With all the development work they do, the Togba-Doyas haven’t lost sight of the reason they came to Liberia – to share Christ. Nearly 20 villagers – including Jessy’s mother – have accepted Christ through watching the Jesus Film. Beyond that, there is need for spiritual and emotional healing after more than 14 years of civil war, where many children were soldiers and many civilians were scarred.
"It is just not enough to preach ‘Jesus saves’ throughout the villages we serve," Jessy Togba-Doya said. "People need to meet the gospel being lived out in our lives. We seek to be the presence of Christ through our work by leading lives that point to Christ, being his hands and feet in hopeless situations."
