“Crushed by a truck”
The story of my encounter with Christ !

╰▶ My life “without God”.

I spent the first sixteen (16) years of my life in unbelief and ignorance with regard to my relation with God. Then came that evening of Saturday, December 25, 1993, when in my room, I call on JESUS to be my Saviour and Lord and dedicated my life to Him.

Before that day, I used assiduously attend a church where I was very active. I made all my efforts to lead a life that was pleasant to God, but my efforts to avoid sin and live a righteous life were of no avail. According to my religious beliefs, I knew that if I committed some sins, it was possible to catch up even after death. Our mum brought us up in this religious life, and it was part of our lifestyle from childhood. I didn’t fail to say my prayers as I always had a prayer book with me. However, I had never read the Bible. I used to steal my parents’ money to live a boastful life on the school campus and cheat in school. It is by cheating that I went from the class of 6e (Form 1) to 4e (Form 3). I was also a boisterous student in the high school where I was known under the nickname of ‘Billy Show’.

╰▶ How did I come to know Christ?

The following circumstances led me to become a Christian:

When I was twelve (12) years old and in my first year in secondary school, I was faced with two highway accidents that same year. The first occurred on Monday, August 13, 1990, at 1:00 p.m., a truck crushed over me from my feet to my head, leaving me with fractures of the left collarbone and of the left ankle and provoked a cranial trauma. In the same year, when I was coming back from school in October I was knocked down by a car and had my right shoulder broken.

From my second year in the secondary school, not knowing why, I began to be particularly interested in things that concerned God and life beyond death especially. In my passion for reading comic strips, finding myself even reading some Christians ones from Chicks Publication. The difference between those Christian comic strips and others was the page at the end, where the reader was invited to acknowledge Christ in his life as His Saviour and Lord. It was clearly stated that all those who die without Jesus will finish in Hell with Satan. In the class of 4e (Form 3), a girl was telling about Jesus on the school campus. As I listened to her talking about Jesus with passion and boldness, something happened in me. I wanted to know more of Jesus as she did. I went closer to her to know if and how it could be possible for me to know Jesus just as she does; to make Him my Lord and have a relation with him as she did; for I was already convinced that if I had died during one of the two highway accidents I had, I would have been an ideal candidate for the lake of fire. I also clearly understood what receiving JESUS would mean to me. I had to avoid stealing (that permitted me to live a life of ‘a big boy’ in the high school, to buy my comic strips, etc.) and cheating (that permitted me to pass from one class to the other) and to become a correct person. Having also understood that what I had to abandon was not as precious and important that what I had to gain with Jesus, I decided to be in the camp of Jesus and on December 25, 1993, during Christmas holidays, in my room, I said the prayer that was on the back of a track titled: ‘Where will you spend eternity?’ I decided, with Jesus’s help, to let go cheating and to get to work by myself. From the moment I answered Christ’s call in my life, a passionate adventure began with Him. I read the whole Bible three times during the first year following my engagement with Christ.

From the beginning of the second school term that year, I started sharing my faith in class and in the high school instead of being boisterous. I never cheated in class any more since that day. I have always walked with the Lord since I answered his call, but, at a certain moment I desired more. I didn’t want to be a mere spectator in church any more. I asked God my role as a member of his body. I wanted to be useful to God.

╰▶ At the Lord’s service.

God saw the desire of my heart, and in 2001, following some circumstances. He worked out, he entrusted me with a mission; a ministry, that is to use modern means of communication to preach the Gospel. I was then employed by a Cameroonian’s computer engineering and Internet service provider company for five (5) years. It was during my stay in that company, where I occupied several posts of responsibility, that I received a direct call from the Lord, to use ICTs to spread the good news of the Kingdom. The website “CameroonforJesus.Net” was created to achieve this call. It was at that the very 1st Christian website in Cameroon and remained for the next 20 years. Other services were deployed to continue this work: The “BibleSms.Net” service to spread the gospel among the users of cell phones for the evangelisation of the Cameroonian society and the “PrayerSms.Com” service to mobilise the church for prayer in Cameroon through cell phones. In 2008, I got married to Adeline, we have four (4) children.. We are in full-time service to spread the Gospel through modern methods of communication. Read more…
