The first missionaries to return to Cameroon following the October 30, 2018 slaying of Charles Wesco are staying at Shiloh.  

Last month a large group of missionaries to Cameroon, their families, and future missionaries to Cameroon met together at a church camp in the U.S. for a week.  Stephanie Wesco and her eight children were there, too.  Pastors came and ministered to them.  It was a time of further healing and recovery from the great shock and loss of this new missionary, who was in Cameroon just twelve days.  God's presence was very real.

We are honored to be chosen to provide housing for our friends as they re-enter the land they love so much.  They are here for two and a half months, exploring ministry opportunities in the French sector, and doing some preliminary  language learning.  After over 30 years of ministry in the English sector, they are having to start all over again.  There are many challenges before them, but they rest firmly in Almighty God.

Their first two nights back in Cameroon, Shiloh was brim full of guests.  Seven people were at the airport to greet them, and six of them stayed with us.   We find time each day to sit with our friends and talk.  We have no profound words of wisdom to give the, but we can give them ourselves.  Shiloh exists for people like them.
