Why Cameroon?
A conversation with God-by Amy Page
During the spring of 2007 something extraordinary happened one Sunday morning. I heard a voice. A voice I have heard before, a familiar voice. It was God. He said "Amy I want you to talk to Karen Jackson on Tuesday after bible study about a mission trip to Africa with the focus of a VBS" and I said "OK". Even though at the time I did not know where Karen was going to be in Africa, or even what language they would speak. I knew I needed to listen to God.
Karen and her husband Chris Jackson are missionaries in Cameroon, Africa. They came back to the states a year ago, and while they were here they felt led to go back to Africa with the focus of developing Sunday school and training materials for the children there.
On Tuesday after bible study I approached Karen with my apologies because I really did not know what I was doing other than being faithful to God. I told her what He had told me, and she fell back laughing. Then asked me if she had talked to me about this before and I said no and she laughed harder. Karen then proceeded to tell me how she and her husband had been praying about Church at Charlotte sending a small group on a short term mission trip with the focus of a VBS. I started laughing. I was seeing God’s work right in front of me. Out of one act of obedience I was able to experience an amazing moment. Exactly one week later Colin, my husband, and I found ourselves in Karen’s kitchen talking about the missions trip. We feel this was an answer to a prayer, and are hoping to continue by sending a team to Cameroon, Africa the summer of 2008.
Our goal is the have a group of 8-10 adult/teenagers who feel lead to help run a VBS in Cameroon. I feel this would be an answer to prayer for Chris and Karen, and would be an amazing experience of what God has for those who are willing to step outside of their comfort zone. When we are willing to listen to God and step into the dark it may seem scary, but letting go of the control can be rewarding
