More Pics


Here is the welcoming sign to our City Ebolowa.


This could be our mode of transportation if we didn't have our Speed the Light vehicle. Thank God for STL!
A little top heavy don't you think? Everyone in Africa carries something on their heads. We have yet to master the skill.

This is right after one of the Children's Campaign that was held in Mbalmayo. They really love to have their picture taken and then see it on the screen.

Our second week here, we traveled to the Northwest Province for a Pastor's Conference. This is Jim Lemons the missionary in Mbalmayo and Sebastian who is the Pastor of the church that Joel preached at in Mbalmayo.

Joel had the opportunity to preach at one of the churches in Mbalmayo. We have been really encouraged to see the churches hungry for God's Word and expectant for Him to move in their lives.

This is our dog Butter Ball. You can't tell in this picture but right after she eats which is quite often, she ends up looking like a butter ball turkey and she will lay on her back and wait for you to rub her belly. We think she is going to be a good dog for us.

Bienvenue au Cameroun!!!

Bonjour tout le monde! We are so happy to finally be here in Cameroun. We have officially been here now for 1 month. We have been really busy and moving at warp speed to get things done here. We have already found a house to rent, gotten our Speed-The-Light vehicle, attended a youth conference, attended a pastor's conference 6 hours away, worked with a team doing 8 services (children's and adults), and Joel preached his first Sunday morning service this past Sunday morning.

So we have been really busy and our internet access is limited. For the time being we are driving an hour away to get on the internet but once we move to Ebolowa on September 1st we will have an internet cafe in town that we can use.

We are feeling great and God has blessed us in so many ways already in just our short time here so far. We want to say thank you to everyone who has been encouraging us and praying for us. Please continue to pray that God will do awesome things here in Cameroun. We are also hoping for teams to want to come in and work with us. So if that is something that interests you let us know. We miss you all and love you!
