Penny and I are now in our Pacific Northwest home, after three good days in Belgium and only two delayed flights thereafter. But don’t ask us what time zone our bodies are in…. Bittersweet is the word to describe leaving Cameroon, but it is now time to reflect on what God has done, and catch-up with the mail! Gary

This is an exciting opportunity to help keep Bible translation advancing in Cameroon, West Africa.
Most of the 16 million people have no portion of God’s word in their “heart language.”

Gary and Penny Lent will serve in the French/English speaking capital of Yaoundé, 3,000 feet in the mountains.
Wycliffe needs Gary’s expertise to do a national's computer job for a month, while the man gets more training off the continent. Gary will also teach him some "tech stuff" for about three weeks before and two or three weeks after that leave.
They've asked Penny to teach English writing skills to some of the many nationals who work in mission offices.
We plan also to travel to two or three villages, which have new ministries. Wycliffe wants Penny to interview people, then write about the work.
