Bessy, Cameroon

 

Ten years ago, I was able to travel to Cameroon, Africa to visit Dr. Ben Sinclair.  Brother Ben had prepared my way and scheduled me in several high schools, technical schools, medical colleges, and teachers’ colleges to speak on Creationism.  I was able to speak 19 times in various venues in and around Bamenda, Cameroon.  What a blessing!  One school in particular was humbling to me.  The director of the Government Bilingual High School in Bessy was cordial and accommodating.  They did not have electricity, but Brother Ben had a portable generator.  I set up my laptop with data projector in the school and Brother Ben located the generator as far away as his 100-foot extension cord would allow to keep the noise at a minimum.  I nailed up a sheet into the mud brick wall to use as a screen, and I lectured for an hour with students focused the entire time.  They thought that Hollywood had arrived!  My replica fossils were more welcomed than my lecture was!  At the end, I presented the director with a Creation book that I had brought.  He held it high and the students cheered.  Then the director said, “When we get a library, this will be the first book in it.”  I was glad to give each student a Gospel tract that Brother Ben had printed.  Please pray for the students in Cameroon.  II Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
