The call came around 10 a.m. today.  He asked us to pray for them.  They woke at 5 a.m. to the sound of gun shots.  The Ambazonian Rebels had entered their village in the North West and were fighting the soldiers who were there.  In fact a soldier was killed right on his door step.  It was a frightening time for all.  The Rebels were killing every soldier in sight.  Finally things calmed down and the people in that neighborhood were told to leave their homes.  Word had got out to the military in Yaounde and they were sending a large contingent to their aid.  When they arrive later on today, the fighting will be fierce and they will kill everyone in sight.  Our friend gathered his young family when the road was opened back up and drove part way down the mountain to safety.  He is trying to find a better location further down the mountain to move his family to.

I asked him about Camp Joy which is virtually right next door to his compound.  He said that God was really with them.  All this week they had been having counselor training.  That ended last evening and everyone left the camp.  The first campers were slated to arrive on Monday.  Camp is canceled for now.  So when the fighting broke out, camp was empty.

Next I asked about the village of Sabga.  He said the Rebels were marching directly to Sabga with their captives.  When they arrived in that village fighting would again break out.  We have been in prayer all day for our friends.  There are seven adult missionaries who live and work in Sabga. And we pray for renewed peace in Cameroon.  But mostly that people will come to find the Lord during this time of war.
