Buzz from Cameroon

The director of the Cabtal, Dr. Michel Kenmogne, told us that many years ago he could not believe his eyes seeing his sister being so in love with the Savior. When he himself first decided to follow Christ, his parents asked if he had gone mad because of his studies. How could he think that he was wiser than all the others in the village, leaving the traditional worship of ancestors and spirits? His mother, knowing very well the terrible state many of the churches are in, remarked: “Did you not know that even the pastors of the Christian churches worship the spirits, after their own church meetings are over?”

So when he saw his sister in love with Jesus, he wondered what in the world had happened to her. Apparently, during his long absence from home, she had gotten hold of a copy of the Scriptures in her mother tongue. She had learned to read a little bit and was very impressed with Jesus Christ. She even told Michel in great earnestness: “We need to tell our father too, before he dies …!”
That’s what the Scriptures do!!
