After tutoring in Cameroon, Africa, for 6 months, I have returned to assist and train with an itinerant teacher. Working with the kids of missionaries is never dull, and I enjoy my job! I also hope to learn more about education here, to help with reform in developing education systems. My life mission statement: Placing myself in the service of others to benefit the last, the least, the forgotten and the lost; leveraging influence and skill set on behalf of the voiceless.

Day 159 - April 20th
Today I witnessed something cool.
We received some ladies from the Cameroon Baptist Convention who will be staying with us out in Bakaland for the weekend, learning more about what our team does and how they can best serve the Baka.
It was really cool hearing things from their perspective, as the Cameroonian church begins to move towards being "missionaries" as well.
One of the ladies talked about how they heard stories from their families about when the missionaries first came to their people. It is so, so cool to me that they are now at the point where that first outreach is reproducing from Cameroonian to Cameroonian.
That is why my team does what they do - to equip the Baka to reach out to their own people. They can do that so much better than we can. We are just here to get that work started.
