The final fortnight

Its true! In less than a fortnight the team will be in Cameroon working on a project that has been planned for over a year. There is not much more news to add as most of the major planning and preparation is done. Currently the team are keeping themselves busy with personal preparation - I even started packing yesterday! I also have the great pleasure to write this week that we are finally in the black! All major expenses for the trip have been paid and money is still slowly trickling in. As the team have all put more money into the account than originally intended, it has been decided that any left over money will first go to helping to reduce the costs for our volunteers. I have spoken to them all about this, and know that some of them wish for their share of the money to be donated to BBH’s social fund (a collection that helps to pay the hospital bills of the poorest patients). I hope therefore that you will continue to support the project in this last way.

So that is it! The final few days are upon us and we are so excited to be finally going (albeit nervous as well!) The team had a fantastic weekend in Carlisle (those of us who could make it) and the time enabled us to just enjoy ourselves and become more spiritually prepared for the trip. I hope that you will continue to help the team members that you support with this, as well as with the much more boring physical preparations!

This leaves me with one final point in what is probably the last blog before we go (I am starting nights on Thursday for a week so will probably not get a chance to update the blog) - I hope you will all continue to pray for the team whilst we are away. We are planning to keep the blog updated on alternate days (God, and Cameroonian internet, willing) so you should be able to find out all the latest news from here! We look forward to seeing you all when we get back!!

Prayers: Praise God for His ongoing provision in this project. Praise Him for how He brings everything together. Pray for the team in their final preparations. Pray for safe travel and for all the team’s luggage to arrive safe and secure into Douala.
