Before the wheels
left the runway in Orlando, Florida, the adventure began! With less
than 24 hours to go before we were scheduled to leave for our first trip to Africa,
we had still not received our passports and visas back from the
Embassy of Cameroon in Washington, DC. They had made a mistake and
sent somebody else's passport to us—ours were still sitting
in their offices and I was holding the passport of a man in Atlanta,
Georgia.
A mad scramble
had taken place the day before with FedEx packages being dropped
off in Washington, Orlando, and Atlanta—and we had to trust
that indeed we had heard from the Lord that He wanted us in Africa
and nothing could stop that. So we continued to make all of our
preparations in the face of what seemed to be an increasingly impossible
situation.
The call came
in late in the morning; our passports had arrived and we were off
on what was to be an incredible month of ministry taking us from
the hustle and bustle of the largest commercial city, to the capital,
to a very pagan village on the seacoast, to the deep jungle to visit
a pygmy village, to the sub-Saharan north where the minarets of
Moslem mosques dominated the view in every direction.
Thus began what has become an ongoing ministry that continues to grow into ever more exciting opportunities for building the Kingdom of God. Click the links at the left to take a look at our photo album or to see a map of Cameroon.
