I know that through your prayers, financial support, and encouraging words, God will do great things in Cameroon this summer and for the years to come.
Words cannot express how much you mean to me, and I am so thankful that we'll be going on this trip together, because I am certainly not going alone.

God bless you.
In Him,
Cathy
