Calvary greetings to you and your families. I write again to know you opinion about my thought.
The story of Harry Potter is such an encouraging story I have heard as a Christian. Never to give up. An assurance that is will be alright.
My questions are;
1. What happens to our churches today? They have become so judgemental and pray less. They no longer take care of strangers.

Since my predicaments started, I have visited a few churches and the obvious response is that you are not a member of our congregation. I have written to churches and wouldn't even get a reply.

2. Will it be a sin if they can help but afraid I am a scammer?
3. Has God not spoken to them about my situation?
4. Was I mean to languish is pains and hunger
5. Is the anyone any place one can recommend
6. What can I do to make God speak for me?
7. Will God be silence on my situation for life?
Was this my destiny?
Why me?
Forgive me if my questions are not relevant
 
Harry Potter's story is empty of the One Thing that gives life its proper and deepest meaning and purpose: God. Instead, the Harry Potter story makes life all about us and gaining personal power.



Some may be like this. But not all. Be careful not to paint your picture of Christian churches with too big a brush. Not all churches are exactly alike, just like not all people are exactly alike.



What is your manner when you approach other Christians for the first time? Are you showing yourself friendly? Are you allowing Christ to shine from you in how deal with others? Or are you waiting for them to come to you and treat you like you want to be treated? More often than not, we have to be the sort of person we wish would meet.

What sort of churches are you going to? If they're cold toward you and you're not giving them cause to be so, find a church that is more welcoming and loving.



Are you approaching churches with your hand out, a stranger wanting money, food, etc. from them?

Why should God speak to them about you? Tell them yourself.

Why would you be "mean" to languish in pain and hunger?

Are you walking with God in love, submission and holiness? It's to those who are that He offers His help. Those who aren't, sin and make themselves God's enemies, as a result.

You can't make God do anything.

He "speaks" for those who live with Him in love, and holiness, and truth.

Your "destiny" is to know God, to love Him, to enjoy Him and to glorify Him. That's why He made you. As this is the way you live, everything else in life settles into place in the way God wants it to for you. He's not interested in helping those who will, when He helps them, soon forget Him and live for themselves.
I approach churches with a hand of prayer. Asking for mercy. I approach the church asking for love. Sometimes I just need someone to talk to me. Sometimes I just need a hug. I approach them seeking medical attention to work when I get better. I also approach the church asking for food.
Sometimes I understand why they are not able but why not me. Since 2018, churches in Yaounde and Douala are floaded by people from the crisis zone seeking assistance.

Do you love the Church? Do you want to serve the community of believers, helping the community to better follow and reflect Jesus? Or do you just want to get from it all that you can? If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, a Christian, then his example and teaching to you is to love the Church and give yourself for it (Ephesians 5:25).

You've actually explained why, when you approach the Church with needs, it isn't as giving as you expect it to be: In your area, it's been flooded for years by people from "crisis zones" seeking refuge and assistance. Do you think, then, that maybe you could pitch in and help the Church in some small way?

I was raised by the church. I lost my parents when I was just 7 years in the hands of Muslim jihadists. Maybe one day I will be opportune to share my testimony here.

Permit me share 2019 human right reports on Cameroon. Today situation is worse

I was brutalized, in a attempt to force me join the separatist fighters. I was beaten and butchered with cutlass. They abandoned me when they thought I was death. God saved me mysteriously and I underwent treatment for years to be able to be here today.
Notwithstanding God has been so faithful to me. I may not have what to eat, where to stay but I have life and one there is life, there is hope.
Hey Kienyui,

I am not sure if this will help you but I know of a international organization SDOK, they are the Dutch entity of a larger christian cooperation helping Christians in need. They help prosecuted Christians (or non Christians). Victims of the Boku Haram, victims of tribal aggression, victims of attempted honor killings in the middle east because of their Christianity.

They have an international network that tailers help based on the needs of the individuals and work with parner organisations to fund people in need. This could be something extreme as yearly moving prosecuted christians who are on hit-lists, to small things as paying transport fees to a safe location or partner organisation / partner volunteer family.

They have a partner organization that could help you in Cameroon (
) their name is Yalef Cameroon (link is clickable).

I will pray you'll find the help, answers and guidance that you need.

Keep me up to date Kienyui, I hope they can help you. You're in my prayers.
I will . I am presently sited at the entrance of a church. I spoke with the pastor but he couldn't help. Most of the church members have flee for safety and the few that are left behind cannot take care of situation that are worse than mine. I an waiting for the sun to go down and I start trekking back

Unfortunately, it's a no. Read their reply below.

Your email involved a request for assistance which, unfortunately, we are in no position to provide to you.

Again, we are sorry you are experiencing such hardship but it is not rational for you to expect that yalef Cameroon will provide you with help. We have thousands of people knocking at our door and we have to prioritize women and children.

Best regard

I am very sorry to hear that Kienyui, It seems the situation in Cameroon at the moment is very dire for many people with terrorism, state conflicts, armed poachers, bandits and smugglers.

I had wished they were able to help you.

This is actually not a bad idea at all! It's another way to both contribute and through that contribution maybe also find people in the network that can help him.

I did some reading on Cameroon but the situation seems to be very extreme for many people, Christians in particular if you're close to Nigeria where the Boku Haram is very much active.

You need to talk to them again and volunteer to help with your qualifications they will be glad to have you help !
Sorry to sound hopelessness. It is the third time I am coming here. I actually believe they will change their mind. From here to where Samuel is, is a distance . I will spend all night trekking back. I cannot walk in the sun because my eyes are swollen and hurts
