1. SPIRITUAL MAPPING
■ Christianity arrived coastal regions of Togo mid-19th century in three waves, British, German and French missionaries; Methodist, Protestant and Roman Catholic in that order.
■ By independence in April 1960, the Catholic Church with support of France, the colonial power, was the dominant Christian denomination.
■ Gnassingbe Eyadema became military ruler of TOGO via a coup d'etat in January 1967. He weaponised Traditional Religion as state policy against perceived foreign influence which included Christianity to consolidate power in himself.
■ From 1967 till his death in 2005 the Church in TOGO suffered a bruising spell of SYNCRETISM; a popular form of Christianity blended with traditional beliefs.
■ In the last two decades, 2005 to 2026, TOGO experienced a growing home-grown move to evangelize and reform the Church, assisted by Togolese Christians returning from exile in neighbouring countries.
■ As at 2025, 50% of the population identity as Christans, Traditional Religion 35% and Islam 15%
