I traveled to Weh in Menchum Division and spent the night with my colleague Pastor Eugene Weh. My other colleagues Ernest and Bolak spent the night at the hotel. First thing in the morning we went to Esu where I was heading to help the language project setup their Internet Connection so that as they do their work, they can be able to send/receive ParaTExt files. Communicate with their consultant. Send/Receive emails and update virus definitions plus a whole lot of others.
I had gotten news that they now have good cellular connection so I purchased an MTN wifi modem but unfortunately the technology I took down there was higher than what the MTN towers can provide. I have to return back and look for a kind of mother that can really work well for them.
It was good however to meet them and see their environment. Now I have a good understanding of the situation and where they come from. Now I even know what they go through to travel from their community to Bamenda.
I left for Weh to work with the Community there and my colleagues are running a workshop on "Gospel and Culture". While I was still there, I saw the notables already arriving for this event. Gospel and culture is an opportunity to engage the community with the word of God in a relevant way that shines the light of the word of God in their daily practices. It is very challenging but a good eye opener to each an everyone who comes. Even goes back with a different world view with an even broader understanding of God's will for us all.
