A New Partnership

The month of March was marked by two major activities. First, we restarted the Bible studies with the orphans of ''ORPHELINAT UNIVERSEL DES OEUVRES HUMANITAIRES'' on the first Saturday in March. We offered Bibles to each orphan and we taught them about the importance of reading and studying the Bible. Each orphan took a commitment to read their Bible every day. So we continued during March to follow them in this process of discipleship every Saturday.
We have begun a similar process with the widows and orphans at Nsam. One of these orphans, Carol has put a lot of effort to read her Bible and now she is able to read better. We know that as they read their Bibles, God will reveal Himself to them and surely transform their lives in the image of His Son Jesus-Christ.


Second, on Saturday March 24th, a partnership between our organization and another organization called CJARC (CLUB FOR BLIND YOUTH REHABILITATED OF CAMEROON) was launched with the organization of a friendship day with the opportunity to start Bibles studies with them. This day was marvelous because we shared the love of God to four blind youths (Arnaud, André, Ruth, and Judith) through words (the preaching of the Gospel) and actions (the gift of food and soap for the housekeeping of the club). And before the end of the day, they received Jesus-Christ as their Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of their sins and to have eternal life. Pray with us for their discipleship.

Now we look forward, hoping to see the marvelous work of God during the forthcoming month of April. The major activity of this month will be the launching of ''Group Ruth'' targeting the widows of Nsam. The activities of this group will be the Bibles studies and training about how to raise and manage a generating income project to improve their well being. Pray with us for the success of this group.

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.

Bible Study With The Widows

On October 16, we studied the Bible with two widows in one of the poorest quarters of Yaoundé called Nsam. The coincidence is that they have the same name ‘’Elisabeth’’With one of them, we studied on prayer, encouraging her to set her hope on God and continuing in supplications and prayers night and day. (1Timothy 5:5)

With the other widow, we give her a Bible helping her understand her necessity to be saved. After sharing with her the Gospel, she believed in Jesus-Christ for her salvation and she has begun to read her Bible.  Praise God for her salvation!

Let’s pray that they continue to grow in their faith in Jesus-Christ, trusting in Him to care for their children (They have crucial needs: Food, housing, medications, schools fees, and books).
