Voodoo, the prosperity gospel, and syncretism create challenges among the Kotafon. However, since 2015, IMB partners have planted seven Kotafon churches. (Sadly, two of these churches were lost during the COVID pandemic.) Ten pastors from the Baptist Bible School of Benin and additional church planters have been trained to serve the Kotafon. Thirty Kotafon have been baptized.
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.’” (Isaiah 52:7 ESV)
