Grev’s visit to Fultang Hospital, Cameroon
Last month Grev had the opportunity to meet the founder from the Fultang Hospital and to hear the story of how the hospital came about and to hear that it is now operational and serving the community surrounding it.
Pastor B shared his story of how God brought him to faith in Christ through a difficult upbringing. When he married he and his wife opened up their home to many children and would often have up to 30 children in their home. As these children grew older they felt God calling them to open a Christian school to give them … Read the rest
