I returned recently from Cameroon, West Africa. This was my second time as part of a team distributing wheelchairs, a joint project of Bethlehem Baptist and Joni and Friends.

We went in the name of Jesus. We know that, though it is a good thing to be lifted up into a wheelchair, it is not enough. We pray that the people we met will trust in Jesus, our Savior and the son of God who “sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety” (Job 5:11).

Desiring God’s International Outreach became a partner in that prayer through the donation of books, most of which were given in gratitude to the Cameroonian volunteers and pastors who worked alongside us. A book is a precious gift to a person with little income, but great hunger for God.

Some received books in English.

Some received French translations.

And children received a copy of my book, Most of All, Jesus Loves You.

International Outreach, I bring you greetings from Cameroon. Children and parents, pastors and church leaders, staff and volunteers at Christian ministries to the disabled send you hearty thanks and blessing.
