Dearest in Christ,
Greetings from your brothers and sisters here in Cameroon. We are doing better from ill health and difficult situations that have been ravaging our society. Thank you for your continuous prayers over our country. We had a national dialogue to see into the problem causing the crisis. We have been in it for the past 3 years. The dialogue ended successfully and we are waiting for the results and resolutions. In the mean-time it seems that places are calmer in some areas.
Wotutu is peaceful as the military are making sure that the separatists don’t come around again to disturb people’s peace and allow people to go about doing what they are supposed to do to help themselves.
Our Bible students in class are getting lectures and instruction on the course, “CHURCH PLANTING.” They were thrilled to learn in the beginning of the course how they can take our dream of making sure that the church is in every community in our country to the field. They are happy and ready to go anywhere with the gospel. The field is ripe and the laborers are few. We shall send some more workers to the field to harvest for the Lord.
Last weekend I was invited in an area known as the Matoh zone of the churches of Christ. This zone is comprised of many villages. The church is present in 11 villages but the 11 congregations had very conflicting reasoning on some doctrinal issues in the church and have been in that situation for many years. I spent the night talking and spend the day on Saturday to help them to see those issues in the light of the scriptures. After a while they saw the burden taken away with understanding of the scriptures. We took a family picture. Unity in the truth is strength.
Students continue with weekend evangelism, house to house, and last week some wives that came to visit were part of the evangelism in Wotutu village. I love the team-work our students are cultivating with their wives. It will make the work easier for them when they will finally enter into full time ministry in the years ahead.
Many thanks to God and for the coordinator minister David Ballard who fought hard to bring water to the campus. After the campus was finished and in full use, water was not there because the current crisis affected the connecting of the water into the house. But now as you can see, we have water in the campus and that has made life for the students much better.
APPRECIATIONS
Thank you very much for all that you are doing for the work here. You put food on our tables. Our households have doubled in size now because of the crisis. God bless you for all your help to keep this work going. Your works are being recorded in His book and will be read one day. Keep doing good. God bless you. Do your best to share the report with others.
Elangwe and family
By His grace director BVBIC-Wotutu
