I have just heard a report from Cameroon by a local family from our church congregation that went to visit our tract workers in that central African country. It was a A-1 report. This was the first time for this family to travel outside the US and Canada. They are very hands on and they had a very active trip.
I haven't heard much of Cameroon before our congregation hosted a mission board meeting a year ago. The country seems full of variety from jungles in the south to mountains in the middle and savanna in the north. The people there are reported to be really friendly and hospitable. There was a lot of emphasis that the main roads there are 10 times worse than any fish pond levee in our community. Their SUV's front end was shot after the 1,000 mile journey undertaken during their stay. Much could be said, but time does not permit details here. The only reason I do not have any names in this article is to provide protection to anyone mentioned here that is presently in another country.
As far as the gospel hunger stated----The goal of the tract worker there was to pass out one million tracts in one three year term. They have already went through four million in two. Many of these are delivered in boxes as requested by church groups and individuals that are passing them out personally.
I am waiting on a report from the small West African country of Togo, where someone told me that there was quite a number of converts. I have been getting e-mails from there and it has been sometime since hearing from them so I haven't been able to verify.
Also read a report from Ethiopia which shows that there is sometimes tension passing out Gospel literature in Muslim influenced areas.
It just has been encouraging to hear of the interest in the Gospel and the fact that we just can't get enough Gospel literature and personnel to meet up with the demand. Haiti in North America is also a place that has shown rapid growth in our Church.
Get involved in Gospel tract and pass out literature. Start your day out with a prayer--- that hopefully you can be a positive influence and a witness for Christ in someone's life. It is an exciting work where ever you are at. If we would just be more prepared to lay up our treasures in heaven rather than just think only about this life.
For those not acquainted with Gospel Tract these tracts are plain Gospel tracts. They tell the "Old Gospel Story".

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Mat.24:14
