David and Justine Laodima

The Laodima Family is serving the Lord in Togo, West Africa, as missionaries with Harvest Baptist Missions.  The have been on the Mission Field over eleven (11) years now.

From an update:  In the course of this time we witnessed how the Lord saves sinners and turns them into saved servants. This has been possible because of your unceasing prayerful, financial and material support. Thank you very much for being our partners and co-workers in this noble work. May this report be an encouragement and a blessing to you! From our experience we concur with Hudson Taylor that, “There are three stages in every great work of God: first it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done."
