Face of the Day: Mallory Magruder, youngest missionary daughter: I thought it couldn’t hurt to feature the youngest missionary among us.

Cameroon Fact of the Day: The coastal town of Limbe was originally named “Victoria,” after the queen of England, when Baptist missionary Alfred Saker founded the settlement in 1858.

Mission Challenge of the Day: We have in the process of making plans for our second Annual Meeting, to be held on April 27-28, 2007 in Yaoundé.

We’re still looking for an adequate place to house all the pastors and delegates, as well as a hall for worship and business.
