As I write today we\u2019re at the end of our Fall Break at Rain Forest International School (RFIS) and the Parent Run School (PRS).\u00a0 Michelle spent the week at the beach with friends, the boys and I hung around home and Ron kept his normal work schedule.\u00a0 It is campaign season in Cameroon as presidential elections are Oct. 9.\u00a0 We\u2019d be most grateful if you will join the many Christians who are praying regularly for peace to reign over the election process throughout this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For September praise God with us for:<\/span><\/p>\n 1.\u00a0 Praise God that a replacement Math\/Science teacher, Ellen Ellison, will be coming out to Yaound\u00e9 soon to fill in for Samantha Barron (see #2 below) for the rest of this semester.\u00a0 Ellen, a recent university graduate, is a \u201cmissionary kid\u201d from Japan.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0 Praise God that Sharon Davis has moved Sept. 12 up to Bamenda to live on the Baptist mission and begin working full time with the Torchbearers Foundation.\u00a0 She and all her stuff arrived well; she\u2019s settled in and getting well adjusted to life and work in Bamenda.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0 Praise God that Ron and the crew have made good progress on getting the roof on the Prayer Chapel.\u00a0 Like the chapel itself, the roof design is unique.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0 Praise God that Ron and the workers were able to get the bells and alarm system up and running at the school, complying with safety regulations\u00a0\u00a0 The students will be treated to fire drill and lockdown drill the first week after Fall Break\u00a0<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0 We were pleased to host Ordained Covenant Pastor and Veterinarian Lorraine Beaumont from CA along with 3 students of veterinary medicine.\u00a0 They are here on a mission trip to work with Doug Lewis, a missionary with the Baptist mission in the Northwest who ministers to the Fulani people through veterinary care of their livestock.\u00a0 Ron picked them up at the airport on their arrival, and they stayed in our guest house.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be excited to hear how their time went up north when we host them again on their way back out of Cameroon. \u00a0Maybe God will use this to call the students into missions.\u00a0 Yes, veterinary medicine is needed for building relationships and meeting felt needs among people groups who have not yet chosen to follow Jesus.<\/p>\n
