Park, who is the head pastor of the Good News Gangnam Church, met with Gnassingb at the Togolese President’s palace on Monday at the president’s official invitation. It was their third meeting.

The two discussed the IYF’s plans to help Togolese public officials and students with character education – including a plan to set up a youth center and training for Togolese public officials. About 60 percent of Togo’s population is aged under 25.

Park has promoted what IYF calls “mind education” through the Bible and IYF’s Togo branch has offered aid to improve education, environment, health and welfare in the country.
