Klaus is a missionary.  Lives and works in the northern part of Cameroon. Married to a Cameroonian lady.  Doing a wonderful work for our Lord.  Stays at Shiloh at random intervals when he's in Yaounde.  Great man.  We really enjoy having him at Shiloh.

Max is a medical doctor.  A surgeon with a rare specialty.  The only surgeon of his type in all of Cameroon.  Works at a mission hospital in the northern part of Cameroon.  Comes to Cameroon twice a year.  Always stays at Shiloh his first night back in country.  Always stays at Shiloh his last night in country.  Goes back home to earn lots of money in his chosen field.  Then comes back and invests his unusual talent (and his finances) in the lives of poor people out here.  Warm.  Friendly.  Outgoing.  Everybody loves Max.

Last night Klaus and his niece rode the train down from the North.  Arrived at Shiloh just before ten this morning.  His niece is flying back home tonight.  He's down here just to help her out.  She doesn't speak much French.

Last night Max rode the train down from the North.  Arrived at Shiloh right at ten this morning.  He's flying back home tomorrow night.  Wanted a shower, a nap, a hot meal, and a good night's sleep before catching his flight.

Klaus and Max are both German men.  Klaus and Max both work in the  northern part of Cameroon.  Klaus and Max know many of the same people.  Klaus and Max each travel back and forth by train.  Klaus and Max each always stay at Shiloh when in Yaounde.  Klaus and Max didn't know each other.  Until ten this morning.  When they bumped into each other in the front hallway here at Shiloh.  They became instant fast friends.  They are overwhelmed to discover that they have traveled in the same circles for some years and yet never crossed paths before.

There is a saying around here.  Coined by a Cameroonian pastor.  "Everybody comes to Shiloh to meet!"  This happens all the time.  It's fun to watch from the sidelines.
