Cameroon Update



“For every house has a builder, but the One who built everything is God” (Hebrews 3:4) 
I still remember sitting on the patio with Mr. Ngome as he tried to teach me the Limbum language. Oh, how the words would just roll of his tongue. I felt like I was reading music, it sounded so beautiful. I miss the peace and quiet that greeted me every morning when I made my way to Lucy's kitchen. She would already be up making foufou when I would still be struggling to open my eyes. I miss you, jingwehtata.
Wycliffe Associates mobilizes volunteers and teams to assist the Bible translation process around the world through a variety of support roles. Praise God that a new door has opened for Wycliffe Associates to construct a strategic translation center in Cameroon, Africa. This new center would help facilitate more than 40 language projects that are currently underway in Cameroon. Presently, there is no central location in the area for national Bible translators and language workers to be trained, ultimately slowing down the progress of Bible translation. There are still more than 100 languages, representing more than a million people, without any Scripture in Cameroon.
  • Wycliffe Associates has the land and the building permit for this new training center. Please pray that God will supply the resources to begin construction.
