Flags of the Nations: Togo

Flags of the Nations: Togo

by | 02 Jul 2018
The flag of Togo features a white "Star of Hope" on a field of red, representing the blood shed by countrymen during the internal struggle for independence. Green is symbolic of the country's agricultural wealth, while yellow is symbolic of mineral wealth. The five horizontal stripes represent the five regions of Togo.

Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.

This week: Togo

The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Togo in 1998.

Togo had a population of 7,965,055 in 2017. That same year, Togo reported 168 Churches of the Nazarene, 66 of which had been officially organized. Togo has 7,583 total members.

Located on the Africa Region, Togo has two Pioneer Areas. For more information about the Africa Region, visit africanazarene.org.

* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.

The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
