2015 Missionary Family Camp/Conference

We were truly blessed with an awesome  family conference this last week, being daily challenged about living Christ's life. Our fellowship with missionaries from around Cameroon and two families on a survey trip was tremendous! Many thanks to the Needhams for hosting and to Pastor and Mrs. Barth for coming to give the Word! 

Rainy or dry?

Saturday I flew Joshua from our church out to Ballin to join an outreach. It was a very interesting day for weather, but I managed to dodge the rain and enjoy tons of cloud variety. Then today, I canceled my flight because the sky was so hazy from harmattan, about 2 miles max. The weather is bouncing back and forth from rainy to dry season. 

Also, Chris made it back today from the church planting outreach near Ballin.

Bamenda, Ballin, Bamunka, etc.

So many places start with "Ba" here. Here are a few pictures of the last few days. 

A day in Bamenda shopping with Chris' family. 

Looks like tornado damage but it was on purpose. Tom is getting a new "zinc" roof on the visitor bungalow. 

A team drove out to a village near the borders of Nigeria and Akwaya yesterday. Today, I flew out several more team members to Ballin, the closest airfield. Ty, Chris, David Harness, and a team of Cameroon brethren are out there planning to baptize some believers, constitute a new church and win more souls...pray for them. 

Bamunka, home sweet home. The mountain is called Ngoketunjia, and is the name of the Division of 13 villages that we want to reach with the gospel near us. 

Easter week

We have had a good few days of ministry and fellowship. 

Wednesday church with Chris preaching and the Sanderlin cousins in the front row.

On the way to Ndop after a lunch with the Thebeaus. We had a good church service Friday morning. 

Partner

Elias is often my evangelism partner. He hardly complains though it is hot in Ndop. We found a cool bridge in our area yesterday. 

Happy Easter to everyone! 

Flying with my bro

Chris and I left the house about 6am today. I stopped at the gas station after Ndop and after getting one of the three containers filled for my plane the station ran out of gas! I had to drive back into town to another station for the rest which lost me 20 minutes drive time overall...so much for waking up early; I could have snoozed two or three times :) 

We finished the journey over what used to be a road and prepared the plane. Chris drove to Felix's mom's house and got a load of cargo for Felix. The flight was beautiful today- no chance of rain but the visibility went down from 10-15 miles in Sabga to 5 miles over Akwaya with haze. 

Felix and a friend picked us up at the airfield and we went to Akwaya town, about an hour hike or in our case a fifteen minute fun filled off road adventure! 

I taught the guys today reviewing some aspects of preaching and constructing their sermons. Pray for these men who are studying the Word and preaching Christ in Akwaya. 

I got to drive one of the motorcycles on the way back. This was my first time driving a dirt bike in Akwaya and was very fun! 

The flight back included another passenger and was enjoyable. It was a good day with my brother beside me!
