A Great End To This Year

December has been busy, but a very fruitful end to 2011.
 
On December 9th, we watched with the orphans of Orphelinat Universel des Oeuvres Humanitaires a film named: "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". It was very appreciated by the children. But before we watched, we shared the Gospel with the little ones in the orphanage. We taught about "Sin and how they can be delivered from his condemnation". After this teaching, many of the children desired to receive the forgiveness of God from their sins and the Eternal Life. Please read below some testimonies from them after receiving Jesus Christ as Their Lord and Savior:
Roby (8 years old): "I received the Eternal Life and I have delivered me from my sins because God died on the cross for me."
Joseph (12 years old): "I prayed God to purify and forgive me from my sins…"
Sarah (12 years old): "Jesus is a Great person for me because He delivered me from my sins and gave me the Eternal Life."
Ivan (11 years old): "I prayed God to purify me from my sins and give me the Eternal Life and now I became a child of God."
Daniel (11 years old): "I asked God to forgive me from my sins and give me the Eternal Life."
Valdo (7 years old): "Jesus loves me so much, He created me. He delivered me from my sins and gave me the Eternal Life.
Keep praying for them for their spiritual growth. It remains now only three children among them who are not yet saved. Continue to pray that God will work in their lives, and they understand their need to be saved.

On December 11th, we visited again Carolle at Nsam to edify her on the necessity of reading the Bible after her accepting Christ in her life. During this teaching, one of her friend’s named ‘’Gaby’’ was interested to know how to have Eternal life. We stopped this teaching and we shared the Gospel to her and she received Jesus Christ as Her Lord and Savior. After this, we continued our teaching and we promised for the next visit to offer to them Bibles. And we are encouraged about what God done for one of the widows that we visited also there. According to her testimony, she said: ‘’I can conquer the trials of the life because I am trusting God‘’. And she had already begun a trade to provide for the needs of her children. So, pray that God will bless that trade and provide for them.  Keep praying for ‘’Papa Michel’’ (one of the elderly blind man that we visit in Nsam) because he receiving treatment for the prostate disease that he has, so that God can heal him. Pray also for his daily needs.

Finally on December 17, we had picnic with the orphans of Orphelinat Universel des Oeuvres Humanitaires at The National Parc of The Mefou 42 km out of Yaoundé. They enjoyed the excursion because they saw the glory and the greatness of God through the chimpanzees, gorillas and many species of primates that they have never seen.  This trip was also to give them a gift for Christmas that we hope that they will know that they are loved and special.

Praise the Lord for this great end and we hope other great things with Him for 2012.
We wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2012. God bless you richly for this New Year as you can see the opportunities to support us in this great task to share Gospel and physical needs to the peoples that we serve.

Blessings this Holiday Season

Another Month of Harvest

The month of November was another month of harvest.  During our visit to the widows at Nsam on November 13, we had opportunity to share the Gospel with the children of one of these widows (The widow, Elizabeth, who received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior last month).  After sharing the Gospel, one girl among these Children called “Carolle’’ (13 years old) asked us: How to receive Eternal life?  To answer her question, we explained to acknowledge her sin and ask forgiveness of her sins, and beleive that Jesus is the Son of God and only through him we can have salvation.  Then we prayed with her to receive Jesus Christ in her life as her Lord and Savior.

After this prayer, we asked her if she was saved and she answered ‘’yes’’.  Then, we asked another question: Why do you say that you are saved? She answered joyfully to us that Jesus died on the Cross for her sins.  Please pray for her spiritual growth.
