Dear Friends and Family,
Summer greetings from the Sinclair family in Cameroon! While most of you in America are suffering heat waves and drought, we are experiencing our rainy season and the coolest month of the year. Yesterday it got so cool I had to put on a long-sleeved shirt! 
The school year ended with some additional blessings and ministry opportunities. We were invited to teach moral instruction classes in two more schools this past semester. We are now systematically teaching through the Bible on a weekly basis, while preaching the Gospel with complete liberty in four schools. Before the school year ended, we saw several professions of faith in these new schools, including two of the teachers! On top of these opportunities, I was able to teach Church History in the Fundamental Bible Institute of Cameroon. What a joy it is to have a small part in preparing men for full-time ministry.
As many of you know, we live in a college town where more than 10,000 students come to further their education. During the first week in July we had an evangelistic push to reach some of these students. In one afternoon we distributed about 2,000 tracts and almost immediately received feedback by phone and e-mail. One student named Shu wrote, “I read a certain tract…and with the question, if I have accepted Christ as my Savior? My answer is yes!” Another student I personally spoke with that day is Mustafa. He is a Muslim who has met with me a couple of times in secret to discuss some spiritual questions. Pray for this young man to be saved. He has seen first-hand what his family will do to persecu
te others who have trusted Christ, and he literally fears for his life if he believes in Christ as his Savior.
Camp Joy is a fundamental Christian camp located about a 30-minute drive from our house. Several of our young people and adults from Bible and Faith Baptist Church have been attending this summer and we ask you to pray for God’s blessing and provision on this ministry. I know several have already been saved, and during one morning session this week eight men surrendered to God’s call to preach! Praise the Lord!
In Luke 8:5-8, Jesus told a parable about seeds falling on different types of soil. We obviously sow seed on a daily basis here in Cameroon, just like you do in your corner of the harvest field; but an overwhelming percentage of the seed sown here in Cameroon seems to fall on dry and thorny soil. People here in Cameroon are almost always polite enough to listen to the Gospel, and many seem to agree with it mentally, but trials and temptations of this world seem to pull many away from church and from genuine spiritual growth and fruit. Please pray for the following by name: Godwill trusted Christ as Savior last month, but went back to his village for the summer months. Pray for his spiritual growth. Elvis professed Christ during our Friday outreach in Bamenda a few weeks ago, and we have not seen him in church since. Pray for Maria, a waitress Becca lead to the Lord last Monday. She 
promised to be in church tomorrow. Antoinette is a mother of two whom we met in Bamenda; she admitted she did not know about her eternal situation. She has invited us to come back and to share the Gospel with her. Pray for Antoinette and her two girls to be saved!
We always covet your prayers for our family. Becca is doing well and has started a weekly Bible study and piano lesson with one of our neighbors. Drew is reading quite well now, and it is a blessing to hear the girls come and ask him to read a book to them instead of one of us. The kids grow up so fast. Kate is our people person. She hardly ever forgets a name and loves everyone she meets. Emma just turned “free” last month and is already learning some greetings in the local dialects. Faith Ann just turned one, and has started “walking” around the house with the aid of her four-wheeled Mickey Mouse walker.
Thank you again for all of your faithful prayers and support. We have a new website that we can update from here. I encourage you all to take a look at: www.Cameroon4Christ.blogspot.com. You will find links to neat pictures, current prayer letters, and any information you might like to know about our family and the country of Cameroon.
Laboring together with you in Cameroon,
Ben, Becca, Drew, Kate, Emma, and Faith Ann Sinclair
