Mountains, Valleys, Mangoes, and Fulani

This was written May 23. They are coming in all together. -Mom-

The light of the Gospel is slowly spreading across Cameroon, bit by bit. Today, Pastor Tom and I trekked over mountain and valleys for miles, visiting the Fulani compounds in the area. I cannot speak the language (Fulfulde) yet, but Pastor Tom had several really exciting opportunities to share the Gospel with these friendly Muslim people. They are in darkness now, but I know that the Lord will be faithful in bringing salvation to the Fulani. As Jesus Christ told Peter, “I will build my church . . .”

He is doing just that in this very area. Sustained by a couple of mangoes pulled from a tree along the trail, we hiked all day down to Camp Joy—taking the scenic route across the mountains and cliffs—arriving there around three in the afternoon. What a blessing to see what the Lord has done in that ministry: raising up Godly men to lead and building facilities to make the summer camps a possibility. Yes, Jesus Christ is indeed still working, building His church, and not even the gates of hell can stop His work!
