An appreciation letter from a student
One of my students, Ernest Seka, has recently fallen on hard times financially. Several weeks ago I got involved with about 40 U.S. dollars worth of assistance, so that he could complete his registration for this semester. Today I received the following letter of appreciation from Ernest, a very warm, friendly, good-hearted student. I am posting this letter on the blog because the financial gift I was able to make to Ernest comes from the financial support I’m receiving from you.

Appreciation Letter
Beloved in the Lord, accept greetings from Cameroon in Africa. I have the joy to present to you this letter of appreciation for the help I received from you through my tutor Mr. Wesley Hill. In fact I was not able to make up my fees at the required time. This made me to be so confused and even lose hope in the continuation of my studies at the seminary. I came to him for prayer as one who had concern and he gave me advice not to worry so much about tomorrow for it holds its own problems. After this advice I was presented with a gift of 20,000 francs [=$40] to support me and to pay the balance of the school fee. He also told me that this money was given him by Christians in America to support needy students.
In fact I feel that I owe a lot of appreciation and credit to this wonderful gesture. I thank the Lord for all of you and pray that the Lord should strengthen you in faith and bless you more for his glory. I also thank God so much for Wesley and I pray that God should give him knowledge and wisdom to advance more in his theological study so he can find hope and nourishment in the word of God.
Maybe I should let you know about my marital situation. I am married and a father of four children—one boy and three girls. I am doing the Diploma of Theology programme at the Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary and I am a Presbyterian Christian.
May the peace and joy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be and remain with you forever. Amen.
God bless and reward you for me.
Yours,
Ernest Seka

Did we meet Ernest? The name Seka sounds vaguely familiar...
anie,
not sure. he didn't take either alex or dave's course, so you may not have met him. most students leave campus during breaks to find work to help them pay their school fees. that's probably what ernest was doing.
hope all's well with you!
