A dear Cameroonian lady sat in our living room today and poured out her heart to Mama Alice.  What an honor to be entrusted with her story.  She was born into a large family in a remote part of Cameroon.  She got pregnant and delivered her first child when she was sixteen years old.  In shame she dropped out of school and raised her baby with the help of her father and mother.  Six years later she again got pregnant.  By this time she was active in her church.  Nobody could believe that SHE would do such a thing.  As with the first pregnancy, the father of this child vanished into thin air.  About a year later she came into contact with a family who were strong Christians.  The wife began leading her step by step into a deep walk with our Lord.  In addition to experiencing the mercies of God which are new every morning, she began basking in His everlasting love for her.  Today you would never guess that she is a lady with a "past".  She is full of the joy of our Lord.  She invests all her strength and all her energies in sharing Jesus with everyone around her.  She does not want anyone to have to go through what she has gone through.  Her passion is school children.  More than anything she wants to spare them the pitfalls that are just around the corner, as they enter adolescence.  What a trophy to the Grace of God.  What an honor to know her.  What a blessing to see a life becoming more and more like Jesus.
