The Torchbearer
grinder for the Muteff-Abuh community is up and running. The grinder arrived
that community on Thursday March 3, 2005 after spending the night in Fundong
town on its way from Bamenda. A large crowd composed of Torch and non-Torch
members who had been waiting for the grinder on Wednesday evening reluctantly
returned home when the grinder could not arrive as completion work on the drums
to be used for the grinder’s cooling system could only be completed on Thursday
morning, prior to departure for Muteff.

By 11 am on
Thursday March 3, René Njamnshi (Administrative Assistant to the Torchbearer
Foundation National Coordinator in Cameroon), Mme Fidelia Tim (Torchbearer
Facilitator for Fundong) and Stephen Ngong (grinder technician) took off with
the grinder for Muteff. Marcus Ngong, driver of the red Toyota 4WD pickup who
transported the grinder from Fundong to Muteff-Abuh, was glad to be part of the
team.

On arrival in Muteff, Pastor Kinyam
Robert led prayers in the grinder house, thanking God for the provision of the
grinder and praying for God’s blessings for all those who sacrificed
tremendously to provide funds for the grinder.
The grinder
planting process took about two weeks. Preparation of the grinder seating (for
engine and hauler) was done on Saturday March 5, 2005. The technician said it
was necessary to give it ample time to get dry. Mr. Simon Ngwainmbi, Torchbearer
Divisional Facilitator for Boyo, meet with all Matches (Torchbearer Christian
Community Development Prayer Cell Leaders) in Muteff to form the Grinder
Management Committee. More on the grinder project in our next issue.
