When he was five years old his family fell apart.  He and his siblings entered the foster care program.  At the age of eight he was in his fifth foster home and really didn't belong anywhere.  He ultimately was in nine homes before he graduated from the foster care system.  None of his foster families were church going people.  But as a little eight year old boy he was living near a church.  One Sunday he decided to visit the church, thinking that the church people would take him in and show him love.  Unfortunately it did not happen that way.  As he trudged back down the hill after church he told himself that God was not in that church, and he never went back.  Then at the age of 21 he told God that he was going to give Him one year to prove Himself to him.  If during that year God revealed Himself, and if God was worthy of this young man's respect, he would serve Him for the rest of his life.  He quit his job and hitch hiked all over the nation during that year, searching for God.  Near the end of the year God revealed Himself to the young man in a powerful way.  He began attending a street church called The Burning Bush.  He grew in faith and soon went off the Bible school.  It was there that he met his wife and they joined missions and came out to Cameroon.  

What an amazing God we serve.  We love our ministry here in Cameroon.  We get to hear stories like this all the time.  The God we serve can transform the most hopeless of situations, for His honor and glory.  He does it all the time.
