Short History of Office Manager:
I came to the Message in 1985, while I was working as cashier with one of my friends. I was born in September 1965, in the capital of Togo, called Lomé. When I came to the Message for a while, I changed my job and I became a supervisor at a printing house. I was a graduate in financial and enterprise management, but in my intention I wanted to be a good businessman before meeting the Lord. Four years after my conversion, I was called to the ministry. Before coming to the Lord, I didn't have a Christian background. All that I knew was my family idols. I noticed a plague in my family which is alcoholism. Almost the whole family drank. It was that plague which brought me to Christ through the Message of the hour. I am now a father of six children, a boy and five girls, husband of one wife. How it is sweet and good to work with Voice of God Recordings in service for five years. Since that time, I share the vision of Voice of God in my country. For the work to move forward, because of the past experiences, we formed a management committee in order to let every participant have their eyes in the management of VGR's activities in Togo.
Yours in Him,
Brother Dieudonné Kontevi
