Pray for the students at CBTS

Last night, the three of us attended a meeting of Philemon and Linda Yong's supporters from Bethlehem Baptist Church. (The Yongs are missionaries at CBTS. Philemon is a professor there, and Linda, in addition to homeschooling two of their kids, helps with AIDS awareness and prevention classes at the seminary. You can read more about them and their ministry here.) Wilfred and Angelica Fon were at the meeting (Wilfred is the president of CBTS and is currently in Minnesota on a sabbatical), and they shared with us that the Cameroon Baptist Convention and CBTS are currently facing major financial difficulties. One of the results is that many current students and their families at CBTS do not have enough food to eat.

Several of us at Bethlehem Baptist are currently exploring possible ways to provide rice and milk for the remainder of the month of May and part of June. The spring term at CBTS ends in June. Would you please pray with us about this need? Pray for the students as they struggle to finish final projects and exams at the seminary in the midst of difficult living conditions.
