Dr. David W. Anderson – Executive Director

January 2008 marked the beginning of a two year commitment to serve God and God’s people in Cameroon. This commitment was not based on a light, spur-of-the-moment decision, but something that had begin growing in us back in 1997 when God first opened Africa to us — or rather, opened us to Africa.
It was while we were in Ghana for a sabbatical during the 2002 – 2003 academic year that we met Magdalene Nungu. She had come to Ghana to receive training in disability awareness and ministry during a Joni and Friends wheelchair outreach and distribution with which we were participating. Since that time, she has been ‘praying’ us to Cameroon to assit with her ministry, the Center for Empowerment of Females with Disabilities. We first came to Cameroon in 2005 for three weeks during which time we taught a course on disability ministry in Bamenda and in Bafoussam. After retiring from Bethel university in 2007, we decided to move into fulltime service with Crossing Bridges and make a move to Cameroon where we have been working with CEFED and with CBS since January 2008.
