Daniel Timti is an amazing man. He is a Christian, nurse, husband, father, son, and community leader. He was my homestay father when my team stayed in Njinikom, Cameroon. I learned so much about the people in the Northwest Province of Cameroon from Daniel. I also learned how powerful the use of hope is by the people within a community. Daniel had so much passion for health and for the people of Njinikom. One night he told us about how he wanted to start his own NGO and was processing the papers that week. We asked him what his NGO was going to do and he told us how he wanted to create a place for senior citizens. He went on to basically describe what we consider a senior center in America. When I told him that we had those in America too, he was overjoyed and pressed me for details of what our senior centers look like. He wants to see his plans for a senior center in Cameroon through so that the senior citizens in his community have a place to gather and improve their health. By playing games, doing crafts and gathering together, they will hopefully improve their health by lowering their blood pressure. I once learned that your vocation is when you find the place where your passions and the world's greatest needs meet. Daniel has found that in his community. I am truly thankful to have met Daniel and seen the work God is doing through him for Cameroon.
