DSCHANG
I would like to ask for a Bible in English and other books which will help me.  I would also like to attend a meeting on Sundays, but it is a long distance between Fontem and Dschang.  I have been praying for the coming of our Lord and also for those who have not yet known the Truth;  I have two sisters in this position who I have been praying for.

MUNYENGE
It’s the rainy season here and as well as rain the weeds are growing so fast and keep us busy clearing them, so that they will not choke the plants.  Also, the rain is causing black-pod disease in cocoa pods – cocoa being our main cash crop.  In fact, I have to spray my farm every two weeks with fungicide in order to have a good harvest. My wife/Sister Bridget also works on the farm, and our two sons and a daughter are all lively.  We of the Munyenge ecclesia are very active in the truth in spite of the persecution from members of the Pentecostal churches and the Roman Catholic church. They try all efforts to thwart our preaching, but we continue, with the help of God.  Our Tuesday and Thursday evening Bible classes remain a regular feature, while we have set up another plan for the truth: intending every June and September to organise Bible Schools, these to be combined efforts of Owe and Munyenge ecclesias.  Last June it was quite a success, with the baptism of three of our contacts.  We now total 16 – 12 Brothers and four Sisters.  Another Bible School is being scheduled for Sept. 23-25, this year in Munyenge with Owe ecclesia joining us here.  Owe is some 18 miles away from here and has seven Brethren in Christ.  Our appeal is for literature and preaching aids. I should be very grateful if you could find me the following books: Teach Yourself Concise Encyclopaedia of the Bible; And, of course, a problem, please can you help:  In Matt. 11 v 12 violence seems to be encouraged.  However, I understand it does not in any way support violence, as we see Christ restoring the violent action of Peter during his arrest.  Also, the apostles never dared venture into violence;  they accepted it as part of their trial of faith.  More light would help, please.

I thank Brothers and Sisters for their prayers and help rendered to me throughout my illness;  I am now getting better, though I am still on monthly check-ups.  Psalm 20:1-2 says, “May the Lord answer you in the day of your trouble.  May the Name of the God of Jacob protect you. May He send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion”, and 120, “In my distress I called to the Lord and he answered me.”  In fact, the word of the Lord is so powerful and He is holy, to be praised.  I hope I still have much to do in the Lord’s vineyard.  I thank Bro. Andrew Walker who  assisted me on his visit to Cameroon. I will be happy to receive a copy of, ‘Where There is No Doctor’ and other spiritual material.
