Dearest in Christ,
Calvary greetings from this end. We do hope you are all doing okay over there in your home and congregation. On our side, we are doing better and we praise the name of God for our condition. Many others are sick, many are in need of basics, and many struggling to see how they can cultivate their farms. It is farming season now, and anyone who does not till the ground now, will continue to suffer and be without during time of harvest. Keep us in your prayers as we are also praying for you as well.
Last week, we continued studies and revision in the school as our students in the BVBIC-Wotutu will start exams this week. Please pray for them not only to perform well but also to keep what they have studied in their hearts so as to teach others as they develop their ministries. Their ministries will begin very soon as their graduation is on the 10th of December 2020.
Torrential downpours of rain never stop our staff from leaving their homes to come to Wotutu to teach and to prepare these men for full time ministry. It is exciting to see great faith and sacrifice from the brothers here.
Crisis or no crisis, pandemic or not, the gospel is the greatest weapon and needs to be in the hands of God’s children all the time. As early as 5 AM Cameroon time, we are on our PA system speaking the word in love to the entire community. We can sing words of praises, we can greet people by name, and we can preach the word loud and sound and many souls. They can hear us, search for us, and ask questions about the preaching they have heard. It is awesome that the church of Christ is gaining popularity among visitors who are coming to Wotutu. They can listen to us and many will find the teaching new as the truth has been hidden from many in the denominational world.
We are doing all that is in our power to help our students to be able to become self-sustaining as they preach the gospel full time. It is not easy to preach full time in small congregations and other poor congregations here in Cameroon. That is why we are trying to help by teaching them some practicals in gardening, farming, and animal husbandry. Please, our dream is to make sure that these men have food on their own table and enough to share with those around them who don’t have it. It is tomato season so we are bent to grow our own farm as well. AGRICULTURE IS THE BEDROCK OF THE CAMEROONIAN ECONOMY, SO TO SURVIVE, WE MUST TILL THE SOIL IF WE ARE TO MOVE AHEAD. PLEASE PRAY FOR US.
PLANS
Top on our plans is evangelism, which is our mission and our mission is evangelism. We are entering places but we are minding the measures we must keep to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our country. Even though we have not had a case in Wotutu, we are being careful to keep safe.
APPRECIATIONS
Thank you for your prayers. Thank you very much for all your thoughts and financial help that help to keep this work going. God is watching and will reward you in due season. Keep up the good work. Do your best to share with others our report.
God bless you and keep you.
Elangwe and family
