Exciting News!

Hello everyone!

My whirlwind trip to America ended on Jan 21 and I made it safely back to Cameroon on Jan 22. I can't deny that I am delighted to be free of SNOW, SLEET and FREEZING RAIN!

Our internet was out city wide when I arrived and it is still out at my house. We are hoping to have a solution this week. 

It was a beautiful 85 degrees when I landed in Douala and I hit the ground running. Sherri and I made a trip to the orphanage the afternoon after our arrival and we spent the following day in the hospital with two different people. School has been great and I have also visited the prison, our single mom's in the village and my students that I'm teaching ESL. Don't worry, I am pacing myself...

Many of you heard about our dream to open a small restaurant here to help begin to sustain the ministry from this side of the ocean and to provide jobs for some of the locals. My team has been so faithful and they have found a beautiful building in a GREAT location. It's a bit smaller than I had hoped and we will have to do some tiny renovations to make a workable kitchen but I think it is a great possibility. I am still in the process of praying but it surely seems like God is opening some great doors. Would you pray with us? Will you also consider giving? We need approximately $1500.00 to purchase tables, chairs, umbrella's for outside and to install a workable sink. If we take this building our goal is to open sometime in March. We have just about everything else we need begin.  I have to make a decision in the coming week if we will take the place or not. My team has been looking for several months and this is the first place in a good location that we can afford. Real Estate is SCARCE in Buea but I don't want that to pressure me into making a quick decision.  I welcome any feedback from any of you. Feel free to email me and if you would like to give towards this project, you can do so by clicking the donate button in the upper left hand corner of this blog. Your gift is 100% tax deductible and will help us to continue to share the gospel in Cameroon and help change lives.

My volunteer staff was so faithful to keep all of the baking business going while I was away and they were able to make a good profit. I'm confident with some additional training  and a few more locations to showcase our goods, Destiny's Delights will soon be a hit all over Buea!

I will be BUSY in the next few weeks with additional training and preparations for teams and visiting missionaries.

Please continue to pray for us and all of our endeavors in Cameroon.

I have a few unspoken prayers that I would love for you to lift up as well.

Thanks for all of your love and support!
