HOPE STAYED

When Pandora's box was opened, all else went out but Hope stayed.

In our lives today, too many people need to know that all hope is not lost. They need to know that when they trust in God, he will do great things for their lives.

In Cameroon,many are losing hope. Many have forgotten that God is bigger than anything that may come against us. As God gives me strength and resources, i hope this blog will offer the much needed words of encouragement that we all need.

I will also be posting jobs from time to time so all may check in and know what's going on.


God bless you all
