The streets of Bamenda

Despite the constant rains today, the Jackson girls, their house guest Jarrod, and I hit the streets to do a little shopping after a very relaxing and laid back morning. We had a really good time of fellowship, as well as success at purchasing a few souvenirs. They are each such fun people and I feel so blessed to have these days to spend with them.

God is so good and faithful. The Fulani family that came to the retreat are in desperate need to a wheelchair for their son. A swiss missionary here that works with the Fulani has contacted an organization that might be able to help get him a wheelchair sooner than we would be able to get through Joni and Friends. Please pray with us that this connection might work out. Although they are a Muslim family, they have been very open to us working with them. God has provided a wonderful avenue to share God's love with them. I will keep you posted!

As I head into my final days in Cameroon I am overwhelmed with the beauty of Africa and God's unfailing love.

The end of a wonderful family retreat

My first access to the internet! Today we finished the Family Retreat. All twelve families attended which was shocking and amazing! God is good!!!! I was so blessed by Patience, Stephen, Timo-Bertrus, Helmina, Blessing, Musa, Elliot, Elijah, Joceline, Noel, Dominique, and Junior and their families. It has truly been amazing. I can not wait to share photos and stories with you all. God is amazing! Keep the prayers coming. Four more days in Cameroon. Mostly enjoying the Jacksons and visiting friends. Thank you for your prayers!
