Need to clarify

Sorry, after reading through my last post i noticed some mistakes.
- My Hebrew students did very well on their first quiz. Also, the kids followed me home, not hope. My health is good and i am also sleeping quite well--a nice change (early to bed and early to rise--my Pops would be proud).

Furthermore, i failed to mention a pretty interesting story. Yesterday, a Christian book distributor donated a few thousand books to the students at Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary. The students were organized in lines before several book tables and were allowed to choose up to 5-7 books a piece. I have never seen such excitement. It reminded me of the Christian Book Distributor warehouse sales when i was in seminary, but on steroids. The students would get their books and immediately begin waving them in the air as if they were holding up a great trophy of some sort. I realized how needy these people really are. Most of the books were old and provided very little contribution to Christian scholarship. I was rummaging through the books, desperately trying to find books that would be a blessing for the students in their studies while in seminary. Many of these students are lacking a good bible--that is hard to imagine with them being in seminary. Don't misunderstand me--many of these students know God's word very well, it's just that they lack resources which would be of great value for students in seminary. I hope to leave Cameroon in just my underwear and a t-shirt. Pardon the hyperbole. In two of my classes i have assigned papers, an OT theology paper and a gospels' exegesis paper. As an incentive for hard work, i have promised to reward the top paper writers with a commentary and OT theology text. All I'm saying is that it will be difficult not to leave everything behind for those whose needs are so much greater than my own. Please pray that God would provide for the needs of these students. Many of them are struggling greatly just to pay their fees to stay in seminary--it seems to be a semester by semester struggle. Also, pray that i would continue to be able to see my students through the eyes of Christ and that i might be able to communicate to them clearly the truths of God's word. The need for the gospel, although great worldwide, is especially great here in Cameroon. These students will be tomorrow' s pastors and missionaries in Cameroon. Pray that the Lord would prepare them well, and that I would be used in that work during my short stay here.

For the glory of Christ Jesus,
