    Again, nobody here knows your real name or exact location to contact any authority.
    Maybe the Camaroon police found you on this website (would be easy to do if you logged in from jail as they have your IP address)

    Your story still seems a bit far-fetched, as interpol doesn't make it a practice to protect individuals of little or no political value, and even then really don't make it a practice for that. They're in the business of capturing, detaining, and transferring international criminals to the Hague, or to the country where a crime has been perpetrated by said individual(s). 
    Why would the government of Camaroon want your head? And if they're after you why would you be foolish enough to continue posting on a site that allegedly contributed to your alleged persecution? The things you are posting just don't add up. And to be honest, an Internet search of the name you gave has brought up similar postings from back as far as 2017.

    Like brother Tony said, if you have any inclination that anybody here did something please let me know. Nobody said a word to me about you and I would think they'd come to me first before they would go to the Cameroon police who they don't know. 
     
    I'll also add, I don't even know how to contact the Cameroon police and how would everybody find you when we don't even know what your real full legal name is?

    If you are allowed a cell phone while in jail, why wouldn't you be calling a lawyer, family or friends instead of posting here?

    Update : Vivian came through her catherization well. She has NO blockages, praise the Lord! They're going to continue tracking the left side of her heart and the myocarditis. Thank you for all your prayers.

    Pastor Matt reacted to BrotherTony in Sitting in the Cardiac testing waiting room this morning   
    It was interesting this morning in the cardiac testing center waiting area. I was listening to two younger gentlemen talking about the book of Revelation. One said that his pastor and church believed that there were several things still not accomplished yet when it came to prophecy. He was telling the second gentleman that he didn't necessarily agree with his pastor, explaining that the disciples believed that Jesus would come back in their lifetime, so why should we NOT expect the imminent return as well. The second gentleman said that his pastor didn't believe in a rapture, nor did he believe in a millennial reign of Christ. They noticed that I was listening and asked if I had an opinion on the subject at hand. As we talked on the subject I noticed that several people nearby had started to listen. So, naturally I asked if I could chase a bit of a rabbit 🐇 that was related to the subject. I asked about the eternal destiny of their souls. One couple who had been listening got beet red, got up and moved to another section of the waiting room. The other two gave wonderful testimonies of salvation, at which point one asked for my testimony. I told them about my being saved while I was in Bible college preparing for the ministry. More people were listening by that time and the three of us started to inquire about others standing with the Lord. By that time I was being paged to the desk. As I was walking away one lady began asking one of the other two men what this salvation was. I was praying for hers as I went to the staging area for surgery to sit with Vivian. 
    Praise the Lord for the opportunities he gives us to tell others about his love for us and the salvation provided for us.

    Great article and thanks for sharing. I don't think this is a topic that we'll ever stop studying...there's a lot to digest and you are correct in some are confused by the rapture concept.

    Two of my grandchildren got saved this week. They could not wait to Facetime with Grammy and Grampy to tell us all about it. All five of my children are raising their kids in church just like we raised them. I am so undeserving!

    My wife had her nuclear stress test Friday, and it didn't go well. I had my yearly with our cardiologist yesterday, and he put me on new medication. I don't have to undergo any surgical procedures yet, thank the good Lord. But, the doctor did discuss my wife's test results. They show that she may have several blockages. So she's now scheduled for an arteriogram on February 20th. They'll see if she needs stents or bypass surgery. 
    This has been a very trying time for.my wife and I over the past year. We've both had to undergo extensive testing leaving us with quite a bit of debt, even with insurance paying their parts. We are seriously praying about whether or not we need to move back home to Augusta Georgia, or just stay put. There are many pro's and cons with each. Please pray for us to know what the Lord would have us to do. 
    Thanks in advance.

    His fever has stayed down since coming home from the ER last night, praise the Lord! Mom and Dad are pretty sick right now, though. I'm gonna be making some chicken soup on Monday and bringing it over there and dropping it off.

    He's doing a bit better; fever broke earlier. I haven't heard anything tonight, but wouldn't be surprised if the fever was back. 
    Otto is on the right.  Three months younger than Asher, but already a bit bigger (his daddy is bigger than Asher's daddy).

    My 6 month old great nephew was diagnosed with c*vid last night. His fever was 103.3 AFTER Tylenol. He was throwing up in his sleep last night also. Fever seems to have broken for now and he is sleeping well. Please pray that God will touch his little body and heal him. AND that God will reach his mom and dad through this. His name is Otto. And he's a precious wee one. Thanks in advance.

    Pastor Matt reacted to Rebecca in He Get's Us - Super Bowl Commercial   
    The girl in the school photo is pouring water all over the floor! 🤣 She's going to be in trouble when one of those other kids slips and falls! Also, where's the towel, does she plan on drying the water with her hair?
    I didn't watch the Super Bowl - not a fan. However, this commercial is getting talked about so I stumbled across it in another forum, in which both the Christians and non-Christians discussing it disliked it. As the saying goes "Any publicity is good publicity", it is getting shared. 
    John 13:12-15 - So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
    I'm not sure if the makers of the ad are using these verses to mean Christians should literally go out and about washing random people's feet, or if it's meant metaphorically. Anyway, I was curious to see who wasted millions of dollars on this ad: 
    https://www.dallasnews.com/news/faith/2024/02/12/dallas-based-firm-is-behind-he-gets-us-jesus-super-bowl-ads/#:~:text=The ads were created by,LinkedIn ahead of the game.
    "The ads ran for a total of 75 seconds and together cost an estimated $17.5 million" - from the article, emphasis mine. 
    So, a question. If you knew for sure that if you paid enough money to get the gospel message out in front of millions of people, who would then share your message with millions of others, whether to praise, hate, or debate it, is paying that money worth it? Or would that money be better spent helping those in need in your community? 
    Second question. If you decided the ad was worth it, would you accept donations from any and all faith-based organizations who wanted to donate towards your ad if it guaranteed you'd get that coveted Super Bowl spot?

    Pastor Matt got a reaction from Rebecca in Mural ideas for Sunday school room   
    How about a map tracing the path of a biblical journey, like Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt or Paul's missionary travels, or Hidden objects: Paint various biblical figures, animals, or symbols within the mural and create a scavenger hunt for people to find them.
    Of course I'm saying this and I have no artistic ability to make my thoughts happen. 🤣
