Job done, says missionary to Africa

Ex-Muslims are making disciples among a largely unreached people.

After 25 years of sharing the gospel in sub-Saharan Africa, a previously London-based physiotherapist feels able to say that her ‘mission is accomplished’.

This is because the purpose for which the team, of which she is part, was established – a new hospital in Cameroon – has been achieved. Now they have successfully handed over the ongoing work to the indigenous people of that country.

Meskine Hospital, where every patient was prayed for, was established by a multi-national (and non-denominational) team offering medical – and sometimes miraculous – solutions as a platform for sharing the good news of Jesus with the largely unreached Fulbe people of the region.

Built in the drier and more dangerous part of the country, where there has been much terrorist activity, the hospital is now a thriving concern offering hope and healing to patients.

And, particularly in recent years, they have seen many Muslims come to Christ – some through dreams which have driven them to find out more. As in the parable of the scattered seed growing all by itself (Mark 4:26-29), the team had spread the word here and there, and are now seeing a harvest.

As Kerry said: ‘Somewhere in the bush in Central Africa, God is moving by his Spirit.’ She also reported that some parts of the vibrant Cameroonian Church, which had not previously very effectively engaged with the Muslim community, were now leading some of them to Jesus.

While keeping in touch with Meskine, Kerry will now continue to work from the Pioneers UK mission base.
