Togo became independent from France in 1960. Since 1991, the nation has suffered much political turmoil, which has degenerated into intense armed conflict,
especially in the central and southern regions.

After a period of anti-Christian sentiment in the 1970's, Togo has progressively granted more and more religious freedom. Bondage to traditional religions and the steady growth of Islam are both hindrances to the spread of the Gospel, but the church continues
to grow at nearly twice the population growth rate.
