Our Schedule
Here is a rough estimate of where we
will be in the coming months (this,
of course, could change…):
Now until mid-November: Indiana
Last part of November: Illinois and
Missouri
December and January (with a hia-
tus for a week around Christmas to
Indy): Kansas
February: Florida (Cara and Sam in
Indiana)
March-May: Indiana
June-July: Kansas?
We still have a few Sundays free in
October and November and are
available almost anytime during the
middle of the week. We’d love to
speak with you, no matter how small
the crowd!
So you may be asking yourself,
“Why are they going to spend an-
other couple of months in Indiana?”
We recently found out that we are
expecting a second little one in early
April 2009. We are so excited for the
blessing of another child and Sam is
excited too (he doesn’t know it yet
but he’ll love having a new play-
mate). So far, the pregnancy is go-
ing well, but we ask that you would
pray with us for a safe and healthy
pregnancy.

Fun Facts about
Cameroon
We have mentioned in an earlier
newsletter that Cameroon is often
called “Africa in miniature” because
of its cultural and geographical di-
versity. Here are some fun facts you
can use the next time you play Jeop-
ardy.
-Cameroon is home to the highest
point in West Africa, Mt. Cameroon,
which is also the only active volcano
in Africa, having most recently
erupted in 2000. Its highest point is
13,353 ft.
-At the base of Mt. Cameroon you
can find the second wettest place in
the world, Debuncha, which receives
about 400 inches of rain each year.
(The wettest is in India at 470
inches!)
-Cameroon is home to beaches, rain-
forests, deserts, and savannahs in
addition to the mountains.
-The major religions are Christianity
(40%), Traditional religions (40%),
and Islam (20%).
-There are about 250 ethnic groups
and 280 languages!
In His Love,
Kory, Cara, Sam, and baby
