Greetings from Wotutu, Cameroon

Ephesians 4:4-6 says, "There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in the one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."  How true this statement is.  Upon my arrival in Cameroon, I was graciously greeted by the brother in charge on the preaching school. The purpose I am in Cameroon, Africa is to teach a short course to students in the school of preaching. When arriving in the village of Wotutu, the brethren warmly greeted me and continue to be so kind to me.  We truly are one body.  Once again it shows the unity that all Christians have all around the world.  The tie that binds us together.  I have "hit the ground running" so to say in the work at the church here in Wotutu. I left the USA Friday at 12:30 and finally made it safely to where I was staying in Cameroon at 8pm Saturday.  It was a long trip, but has been well worth it.  Sunday I taught bible class, and then they opened the class up for questions at the end.  The other teacher who is also here to teach in the school presented the lesson.  Worship was amazing.  Many voices blending together to praise our God.  It is an awesome experience to be part of.  The brethren are passionate about their worship to God!  In America, we expect worship to be finished withing an hour or less, so that we can beat everyone to the restaurant to eat.  Africa doesn't really have restaurants to eat, or at least close by, so we started at 9am and finished about 12pm.  What a blessing to be part of God's kingdom.  The coming weeks are exciting.  I am blessed to be part of teaching men in their own country to preach the word of God, who can touch many souls with the saving message of Jesus.  The students are dedicated to the work here and to their schooling.  The days general schedule looks like this.  We wake up at 4:20am and go the the school where a lesson is preached to the village of Wotutu through a loud PA system on top of the schools roof.  This reaches most of the Wotutu village.  So from 4:30 to about 5:30 a lesson takes place followed by community announcements.  Class starts at 8am-11am.  I am teaching a course on denominational doctrines.  At 11am we have a chapel time where we sing, pray, and have a short lesson.  11:30-12:30 is a break.  Then the students come back together and have their second course study from 12:00 - 3:00pm.  They then have the afternoon off and then come back to the school at 7pm for personal study & homework.  Then we close the day of God's blessings from 9- 9:30pm with a closing devotional.  A lot of dedication, time, and sacrifice is given on the behalf of the students. I greatly appreciate these men for what they are doing and their dedication to the preaching of God's word.  I will plan to write some more blogs, but wanted to thank all for your prayers and support while I am away.  As they would say here in Africa, "May God Bless You."
