Why Preach Peace?
"Christ came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near" Ephesians 2:17
C"est La Famille Magruder
- Wes Magruder
- Yaounde, Cameroon
- The Magruders are United Methodist missionaries to Cameroon, via London, Long Beach and a small town in east Texas called Valley View. We love John Wesley, Walton re-reruns, professional sports teams from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, U2, Jim Wallis, and Bob Dylan. Our mission in Cameroon is to make disciples of Jesus Christ by planting new congregations of the United Methodist Church.
