Hello everyone,
I just got off the phone with Val. A big thanks to everyone who prayed for her health. Her voice is much better and she was able to tell me all about the story she had wanted to share earlier. It's still a little scratchy but way better than the day before (remember Cameroon is about 6 hours ahead of us).
She needs your prayers again, but for a different reason. As I write this blog she is on her way to a funeral. One of her grandfather's relatives passed away yesterday. He was a young man who had just received a prominent promotion in the military. He suddenly fell ill and had been in critical condition. Yesterday after Val and the chief had looked at the first section of land a couple brought a goat and a chicken to him so they could perform a sacrifice to his ancestors.
Val pulled the chief aside and told him that the young man needed prayer instead of a sacrifice and she quoted some scripture as well. She was able to say a prayer for him, but they decided to perform the sacrifice anyway. Early this morning the man passed away. So, she needs prayer because she will be attending his funeral and she wants the courage and strength to be a light in the darkness. As we have said before many of the people in the village profess to be Catholics but they still practice many tribal traditions like sacrificing animals to their ancestors.
As always I'll give more information as I receive it. God bless and thanks again for your prayers.
