You have traveled half way around the world to a place that will always be remembered. You have stepped out in faith and with your faith have made a huge impact on many people. Just ask the boy that had been bitten by a snake. You have shared your journey to Cameroon and it has been so interesting.
ReplyDeleteCourtney and Brent, you have only just begun. There's a whole life ahead with all it's ups and downs, challenges and successes. There is no doubt you have chosen a career that will change lives, perhaps no less than your lives have been changed.
Thank you for the courage to volunteer, to help and serve others, and to save lives. Wow, what a wonderful life ahead.
