Dr. Tooth's ministry in Cameroon

Dear Bob,

Well, we just returned Sunday from a very exciting ministry in Cameroon. We thank the Lord for His faithfulness and His grace. We were with missionaries Eric & Christine Mossman, Walter & Carol Loescher, Danny & Carrie Wright as well as Ellen Doyle, a single missionary nurse. Ellen flew back with us as far as France and then on to visit with your folks there. Please pray for these missionaries as the work is endless there and the living conditions, although tolerable, are difficult. Most of the days there were periods when there was no running water and the poor roads cause endless problems with their vehicles. But God is doing a great work there through them all. People are getting saved and young men are being trained. Praise the Lord!


We were able to introduce their ministry in two new (to them) mostly Muslim villages where the people were very open to the preaching of the Word. We are praying for them as they return to these villages and have further opportunities for ministry. People sat for hours watching the Jesus video in their own language and frequently had questions for Eric or Walter Loescher afterward. We were thankful to be a part of their ministry for 2 plus weeks. The dentistry was a challenge, but seeing these people listen intently to the gospel made it al worth while. We left a lot of our equipment there anticipating a return visit, perhaps next year. Now we are trusting the Lord to provide replacement supplies and equipment as we prepare for our next ministry to Saipan, Yap and Palau in January.

Jennifer and I pray for your ministry regularly and trust God is continuing to bless. I've attached a few pictures of some of the many children receiving toothbrushes. These are some of the brushes the good folks at Morning Side sent to us. The kids, as well as the adults, were so excited to receive them! Thanks for your part in that.

We're praying for the new building details, and that God will provide all that is needed for that. Please greet all for us.

Jack & Jennifer
