BBC Article on Cameroon's CBTS

The Lord has indeed been faithful to CBTS (Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary), and a member of a recent short-term teaching trip there from Bethlehem Baptist Church wrote this week's article on the seminary.  The article highlights Bethlehem's connection to the seminary; by some of this history and the people involved, God had used to draw us to the country. The seminary is located in Ndu in English-speaking Northwest Region. A short sample:
God has been faithful in preserving the long, mutually beneficial relationship between Bethlehem and CBTS. Since Pastor John spoke at CBTS in Spring 1985, then-Bethlehem-pastor Steve Roy was sent to teach at the school for a year in 1986, and current-Bethlehem-pastor Tom Steller was sent to teach for a year in 1990. 
God has been faithful to CBTS in providing equipped and trained faculty over the years. Through our partnership, Wilfred Fon, Amos Nchuoji, and Philemon Yong came to the U.S. to pursue PhDs and returned to teach at the school. Presently, Dieudonné is pursuing a PhD after having completed his studies here at Bethlehem. 
Additionally, global partners Tim & Amy Moline just arrived on campus this August as Tim joins the faculty of the school. We have been laboring together for the sake of the gospel in Africa—over 25 years of partnership with a steady stream of our people going to work with CBTS. (See Pastor Tom’s Star article from August 19, 1991, “An Update on the Cameroon Connection.”)
