Editorial
Our generation is in need of
a people who can stand up andtake the challenge to bring thechange that we all need. Withthe current challenges facing ournation, particularly in thehealth sector, there is a need fora change. There is a need for abreed of health professionalswho's first motivation will be thesatisfaction and complete wellbeing of their patients and not
their pockets. The nation yetawaits such a people. With brib-ery, corruption and embezzle-ment in the order of the day wecan only but pray for a new gen-eration.
The expected new generation is that which has to be unique andpeculiar to show themselves different. This is a generation that willmake the difference, empowered by the Spirit of God, motivated byunconditional love, ready to serve God through their profession ofmedicine. As David in the old whom the bible records that he served
his generation by the will of God, the Cameroon Christian Medical As-sociation (CCMA) is an association motivated to serve Cameroon. Ourpassion is to see holistic revival in the health sector. This revival willnot only bring eternal life to the dying generation but will bring anincrease in the standard of life of our fellow citizens.
We believe in a future of hope. We see a God doing a new thing inthe medical corps of Cameroon. From the students in different BibleClubs in the different schools of training scattered over the nation, tothose already working in the field, God is gathering for himself aJoshua generation.
As you go through this piece of work produced bythe students of the Bible Club of the Faculty of Medi-cine and Biomedical Sciences who form part of the na-tional Cameroon Christian Health Science Association(CAMCHESSAthe student body of the CCMA) wepray that this will raise up a burden in you to pray forus and pray for our beloved nation.God bless you as you read.

Interview with our mother Pr Mbanya Dora
BBC: How did you become the Mother of the Bible Club FMBS,
which gave birth to CCMA under your care? What is your mo-
vaon today?
MD: Several years ago, I was very excited when I realized aBible Club had been created in the FMBS. In our student days,
there were no such clubs then in CUSS; it might have made a
huge dierence to the lives of many then, as it does today. I
was invited to aend one of the Bible Clubs welcome event
for the incoming rst years at the me. I was so impressed
and became very interested in their acvies. I have since then
been a part of the group in my own small but whole-hearted
ways both in prayers and otherwise. Personally, it has been a
blessing over the years to see the annual products of the Bible
Club, God-fearing young men and women serving the Lord.
The Bible teaches in Ecclesiastes 12:1to remember to serve
the Lord in the days of your youth before the dismal days
come..., and that is a real movaon to me, to see young
people eagerly serving the Lord under not-too-favourable con-
dions.
BBC: Medical students face many challenges. Are they similar
to challenges faced by Professors, Especially when Chrisans?
(Medical and then spiritual).
MD: Medically speaking, as a professional woman, I have var-ious challenges: Medicine is in itself a very demanding profes-
sion you can guarantee when you go into hospital but never
when you get out; you are called up at odd hours to save life;
you must read regularly to keep pace with the latest develop-
ments in your eld especially because, besides improving pa-
ent-care, you need to transfer some of it to your students
during ward rounds and other acvies in the hospital. In ad-
dion, as a lecturer and professor these updates are indispen-
sable for preparing lectures, conferences and symposia, both
locally and internaonally. I also need to carry out researchand share the ndings through the wring of publicaons and
presentaons at other forums. Furthermore, I need to be able
to follow up students and supervise their iniaon into re-
search besides other things. I can assure you that to achieve
these eciently is very challenging. To add to these profes-
sional challenges, I am a wife and a mother, both full-me
acvies in their own right. It can only be Gods grace and fa-
vour that sees anyone through these demands successfully.
Thus, spiritually speaking, I h
depended on that grace and
vour for survival. Without Je
Christ as my co-pilot, I could ne

ments, and I thank Him for
guiding presence in my life.

BBC: We know our dads, your husbands, support to you and vice
versa has been enormous. What do you say about it? (Please we need
answers from both of you if possible). Here we want to learn about
oneness since you people are a perfect example.
MD: Yes, I have been blessed with a wonderful, loving, caring and sup-
porve husband who also fears the Lord. This unity and love between
us has helped me grow professionally and spiritually and I always
thank God for him in my life. Marriage is not an easy relaonship be-
cause two individuals, strangers, have to share everything from roof,
bed, toilet to all. Thus, we need to love, accept and tolerate each oth-
ers strong and weak points; we need to dialogue and communicate
well with each other etc. etc. But most importantly, we have under-
stood the need to have Jesus Christ at the centre of everything we do,
and this keeps us going. Today, I can say my husband is my brother,
my friend and my daddy.
Daddy: Communicaon is the key to good partnership and relaon-
ship. In addion, the ability to trust and conde in each other and to
work as a team is a perfect recipe for a successful relaonship as long
as Christ is at the core.
BBC: What word of wisdom do have for the Girls or Mothers to be?
MD:The female gender on the whole is a specially designed group by
the Creator: women are tender, gentle, delicate and tenacious. A
Chrisan girl or woman should be more so. God created us and gave
us a special role in assisng the man to achieve his God-given mission,
whether as a sister, a wife or a mother. You should seek to achieve
this mission honourably, respectably and submissively, while leng
God be your help. Do not aempt to usurp what God did not aribute
to you.
BBC: To the Boys or Fathers to be answer (from our Dad if possible)
MD:Christ should be the foundaon of everything they do, from their
educaon through the choice of a partner and sharing life together
with the spouse. A change in your social status should not aect who
you are because that change is a blessing from God and not necessari-
ly their own hard work.
BBC: Tothe Leaders of the Bible Club (It should concerns both spiritu-
al and secular leadership).
MD:A leader is a person who guides and directs a group; he is an ad-
ministrator, a manager and a steward at the same me. Thus, a lead-
er needs to have a vision of where he/she wants to take the group to,
how he/she intends to do it and with what players and tools. A leader
of the Bible Club indicates that it is not just any leader, but a leader
according to Gods standards; a servant. According to Pat Williams,
the seven ingredients for outstanding leadership include: vision, com-
municaon, people skills, character (I will emphasize integrity with
that), competence, boldness and a serving heart. In Luke 22:24-27 and
Mahew 20:25 28, Christ is clearly explaining the dierence be-
tween worldly and godly leaders.As leaders, you are not seeking for
mans approval but Gods.
There are lots of distracons in our environment that cou

indispensable for godly leadership, and the Bible teaches in
1:5 that if anyone lacks wisdom, he should ask God wh

Interview with our Mentor Dr Loni Gabriel
THE EXPERIENCES OF GODS FAITHFULNESS IN THE FIELD
The lord has really been faithful and has shown me much favor as
far as eld work is concerned. Somemes you really want to be a
good praconer but going to the extremes of your pracce is be-
yond your eorts. Thus I thank God, for helping me get to the ex-
tremes ; you have to be ready to serve even while starving, even
through sleepless nights, even at the detriment of your leisure me.
Despite all the protocols to protect the praconer, there are
cases of which he possibly can sll get infected. For example I cant
count the number of mes that a needle has pieced me during sur-
gery, the number of mes amnioc uid has splashed on my body
soiling me completely. Even some dangers like receiving mothers with
their babies almost coming out such that you have but to catch the
baby from falling. In all these God has kept His promise of good -
health unto me.
Also as God promised His grace to follow us where ever we go, He
has been so faithful in this. He faithfully brings me in contact with my
vision facilitators -very strategic people. This is how he is taking me to
greater heights and achievements. Above all being in the world means
seeing and meeng with those of the world, but in this environment
God has given me favour among my stas and wisdom to handle di-
cult situaons and grace to grant a holisc care unto my paents-
which is the vision we all carry.
CHALLENGES THAT I FACE IN THE FIELD
It is very challenging out here; you have to work in hospitals which
are poorly equipped and having stas that have lile enthusiasm to
do what they have to do. This has therefore led to many funny a-
tudes portrayed by these sta members.the number of sta members
is in itself less; you could have just 2 qualied Nursing Aids in a District
hospital. Despite the sta being the way it is, the work load is heavy;
the sta per paent rao is very high thus very stressful. Aer taking
the normal work load you sll have the emergency situaons that
come in.
As a child of God you have to deal with corrupon whereby senior
stas carryout funny acvies just for money. Even paents come up
to you asking for fake documents from you that shows that they are
very sick whereas they are ne. In all this you have to be strong and
stand your grounds
A WORD TO THE LEADERS
You are in the right place and doing the right things. Dicules
and challenges are essenal moments in a christains(leaders) life.
Faith that has not been tried through re cannot be trusted.
Keep focusing on Jesus the author and nisher of our faith. Al-
ways remember the ministry of consolidaon and shepherd that have
A WORD TO THE BIBLE CLUB
I will use Pauls words grow in the
grace of God. Do not let fear push your
hearts from the vision because you do not
have a spirit of fear nor midity. Persever-
ance ,stand strong, its a privilege to expe-
rience all what you are going through.
REMEMBER FAITH THAT IS NOT TESTED CANNOT BE TRUS

Today, during one internship alone the maximum number of paents
a student can have is atmost 3 and at mes, there are even students
on stand-by, waing for paents to get admied.
At mes there are 2-3 students per paent meanwhile others do not
even have a paent especially late comers. Close follow-up by lectur-
ers has also become very dicult. Even during theorecal lectures,
late comers usually do not even have the space on which to stand and
take notes, lazy students take advantage and of this and do not evenaend lectures and internships. During ward rounds, the students are
so many that if you are not following the lecturer closely, you may not
even enter the paents room due to limited space. Facebook and oth-
er internet communicaon sites have come up and so even in school,
out 10 students working on the internet about 8 are on Facebook,
some playing games etc while the remaining 2 are doing medical re-
search to improve themselves.
Therefore if you want to become a good medical Doctor, Dental
surgeon and Pharmacist, you need to develop a personal programme
and start doing voluntary internships during the holidays. Hardwork
and vigilance should be your driving force during lectures and intern-
ships. The intake of Medical and paramedical students has greatly
increased but you sll stand the chance of becoming the Best Doctor

JESUS PAID MY DEBT
Jesus paid the debt the debt I owed
A debt I could not pay
It was only by his merciful grace
that for me there is a way
I was born in sin
Inherited from Adam and Eve
The only way to have my sins paid
Was to accept Jesus Christ and receive him
He came to pay for our sins
At such an awful and heavy cost
They put a crown of thorns on his head
And nailed him to the cross
While he was dying in pain and agony
People watched with quesoning eyes and mockery
Some said he saved others why doesnt he come down from there
But Jesus stayed on that cruel cross
For he was hanging there
Suering for you and for me
Jesus stayed on the cross
So that our debt might be paid
Then he cried IT IS FINISHED
Indeed the debt was paid in full that day
Dear readers indeed it is nished
GOD BLESS YOU

Always remember that and do not care about what they who
despises you say. FOR YOU ARE WORTH THE LIFE OF HIS PRECIOUS
SON-JESUS CHRIST.
By Solange Neh
For god so loved
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ev-
erlasting life. John 3:16 KJV.
God loves us more than we can fathom. I guess He loves us
more than we even love ourselves! Out of this love, He gave us His
son, Jesus Christ, that through Him we might be saved from Gods
wrath and access eternal life -intimacy with God forever (see John
17:3).
Once we were alienated from God and guilty of sin; So we
deserved Gods punishment. God so loved us that He hired Jesus to
be our advocate (lawyer) to plead for our cause.
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1John 2:1-2 KJV.
...but because Jesus lives for ever, he has a permanent priest-hood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to Godthrough him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Hebrews 7:24-25 NIV.
Lets view some points about this our incredible advocate:
1. He is all righteous, and therefore represents us as perfect andblameless before God the Father, who is the judge.
2. He is with the Father (on the side of the Father) and therefore weare already favoured before the judge. God Himself hired Jesus todefend us; so He wants us saved more than we ourselves do.
3. He lives forever, and therefore is always ready to intervene in ourcase. He is the proof our righteousness, blamelessness, and guilt-lessness before God forever.
4. He intercedes on our behalf. He stands the gap for us remindingthe Father ceaselessly that through Him we are righteous, we areno longer condemned for He has paid the full price;
5. He saves all who come to Him. In other words, He never loses acase! No matter your present situation or past history, He can stillwork it out.
All this should make us realize how much the Father has usin mind, yes, even you, dear reader. Just turn to Him and Hell seeyour case through. Learn to live a guilt-free life with this conscious-ness that you have the best lawyer of all times pleading in your fa-vour Jesus Christ the righteous!

There are several controversal ideologies about epilepsy.
While some consider it to be a taboo, others think it is associated
with some witchcraft practices. The Bible mentions a case of epilep-
sy in Matthew 15:17 which was actually caused by a demon, and
Jesus healed the boy.
Bearing in mind that every disease (including epilepsy) are
actually curses, which we have been freed from by Jesus (See Gala-
tians 3:13, Isaiah 53:4-5), we will nevertheless analyse epilepsy from
a scientic point of view, with its mechanisms and clinical manifes-
tations.
Epilepsy is a disease consisting of repetitive seizures. An
isolated seizure (due to hyperthermia in children, metabolic disor-
ders, head trauma) does not therefore constitute the disease. The
underlying cause is generally of cerebral origin, due to a population
of hyperexcitable neurons discharging excessive nervous impulses
in a synchronous (simultaneous) manner. This abnormally high sig-
nal on the brain results in manifestations on the rest of the body,
depending on what part of the brain is stimulated.
The mechanisms underlying this hyperexcitation are di-
verse. It may be due to a dysfunction of the Sodium -potassium
channels on the neurons, an increase in the excitatory neurotrans-
mitters (aspartate, glutamate) and/or a decrease in the inhibitory
neurotransmitters (GABA). Certain drugs (eg: anti -depressants) can
also induce epilepsy.
The clinical presentation of the disease depends on the
area of the brain that is aected. Signs are diverse, ranging from
sensory disorders (hallucinations, auditory, gustatory, et olfactory
disorders) to absence seizures (brief loss of contact with the envi-ronment, without a fall or recall of the event) and may even attain
the state of tonico-clonic convulsions (sudden involuntary contrac-
tion of skeletal muscles). Diagnosis is conrmed by an electroen-
cephalogram (EEG).
These crises may involve just part of the brain (partial sei-
zures) or the whole brain (generalized seizures). Whatever the
case, there are always risks of brain lesions, and at times extra cere-
bral lesions (due to a fall, trauma, etc) all depending on the type,
extent, and duration of the seizure.
Treatment of this condition is by the use of appropriateantiepileptic drugs, carefully administered and following the correct
protocol. Some antiepileptic drugs include: diazepam, phenobarbi-
tal, valproate, carbamazepine, vigabatrine, lamotrigine, etc.
Appropriate rst aid in the event of a seizure involve sim-ple, but life-saving gesture: clearing the space around the patient,removing tight tting clothing (tie, belt), protecting his head(pillow), lying him on his side to avoid choking while swallowingsaliva, and contact qualied health personnel.
Do not put anything in the patients mouth
drug, water) and do not hinder his movement. Above a
can lay hands and release the power in you as the maste

Social CornerHOW TO MAKE YOUR FRIENDS
FEEL LOVED
The life of a human being is a sociable life thus humans must
always interact with their fellow humans. But it becomes a problem
when you as a human keep making friends and losing them. This ar-
cle contains 5 basics on how to maintain your friendship, there are so
many other possible approaches but this will go a long way to helpyou. These basics are:
1. Make them feel special: if you have a friend and you never tell
them how important they are to you, you are losing it. That is one of
the slowest but surest way in which you start losing them. This is be-
cause they will always prefer someone who can ll in this gap for
them. This sensaon of feeling special is supposed to be felt by your
friend at the beginning of the friendship because if you start this later
your friend might just think you are trying to be a hypocrite. All the
same, it is never too late to do this but if you have to do this at a later
stage give some explanaon to your friend.
2. Try as much as possible to respect their emoons: If your friend is
hot-tempered then always respect the moments when they get as
such. Do not shout at them when they get as such. It is important to
know that there is more to respecng peoples emoons than loving
them. If you say you love someone and you just have no understand-
ing among yourselves then your love is not complete ie
love=understanding + admiraon. This means without understanding
you can tell what kind of love you have for your friend.
3. Appreciate them: It is very important to appreciate people when
they try to please you. When you do not feel nor see peoples eorts
to make you happy, you frustrate them worst. In other words it would
have been beer never to have thought of caring so much about you
because the answer they always feel is Im not sased. Beware this
atude kills the hero in people. Please if your friend never appreci-
ates your sacrices pause doing them. This is important when you
start trying to impress or show your love for a friend by making them
see from your acon, many at mes you always end up really hurt.
4. Praise their strengths: Where you know your friend is good, always
strengthen them by praising these good sides. Always be the friend
that strengthens your friend, you can do this by learning to appreciate
them oen in sincerity. Humans always have weaknesses but let it not
always be your focus, do this once in a while but praise them oen.
Humans have a beer strength within them when they know some-
one believes in them. If you love your friend you need to always make
them feel comfortable in themselves.
5. Learn to keep memories of your friendship: This means always re-
call and speak some of the special moments in your friendship among
yourselves. This will always cause you people to want to live in your
friendship some more so as to make more memories together.
This will leave each one of you trying to do his best to m
friendship work.
For more on keeping memories, some of the most im
things to know is to know all the people they talk about ie
relang to their lives but not necessarily retaining all the
they tell. This will make them know you truly care becaus
me they try to idenfy to you a person they had once
about to you, you just step in by recognizing the person a
ing a story that relates to that person. This makes them
that you listen to them sincerely each me they talk.

THE WOMAN WITH A DIFFERENCE
Our world has women, oh yes billions of them
Scaered all over the globe
Some are rich and others poor
Some are educated and others uneducated
We have the strong and the weak
The black and the white, and why not
The good and the bad
But there is a woman
She is special and unique, ah, she is a role model
She is a mother to all even when science says she has non
A tree that brings forth fruits of soluons,
The symbol of peace and unity,
A weapon against hatred and disunity
She does not get jealous and appreciates what is good
Like Esther, she is concerned about the safety of the other
Like Hannah, she keeps to her promise,
Unlike Jezebel and Saphira she has a posive inuence in her hom
Unlike Pophars wife, she knows that her body is the temple of
Oh this woman, how negave the world sees her to be
Because of her humility, the world says she is weak
Because of her hardwork, the world says she is a slave
I thank God because she is not moved by such words
She says if the world calls me names and God praises me
am the best, then I rejoice
This woman with a dierence is the virtuous woman
She is wonderful, ladies lets imitate her.

Ten reasons for Geng Married
1. Because it is Gods will.
If God is calling you to marry, He wants to join you to someone with
whom you can build a strong, godly home lled with love and grace
a home that exalts Jesus Christ as Lord.
2. Expressing Gods love to the other person.
Marriage is a physical picture of the spiritual union and love that exist
among the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It also depicts the loveof God for His people and Christs love for His Church.
3. Expressing personal love for the other person.
Healthy marital love involves the proper blending of the various types
and degrees of love.
First is agape, the uncondional love of God that gives birth to all
other forms. Marriage should also be an expression of personal love
between the husband and wife, a desire to show a level of esteem
and regard toward each other that they show toward no one else.
Marital love includes the element ofphileo, a Greek concept of
love best understood as tender aecon. Husbands and wives
should be tender and aeconate toward each other.
A marriage relaonship is also characterized by eros, which is phys-
ical, or sexual love.
These expressions of personal love are healthy reasons for marriage,
but they need to be properly founded on the uncondional agape
love that comes from God.
4. To fulll sexual needs and desires in a godly way.
Marriage is the God-ordained vehicle for fullling God-given sexual
desire.
5. The desire to begin a family.
6. Companionship.
A husband should be his wifes best friend and companion, and a
wife, her husbands.7. To share all things together with the other person.
There is a lot of truth in the old saying that when we share our sor-
row, our sorrow is halved, and when we share our joy, our joy is dou-
bled.
8. To work together to fulll each others needs.
9. To maximize each persons potenal.
The bounds of the marital union provide an ideal environment in
which husbands and wives can strive to express their fullest personal,
spiritual, and professional potenal.
10. Enhancement of spiritual growth.
As you can read from the arcle above, Marriage is the will
of God, yet its something not to rush into. We would like to encour-
age you take me and build up your life so as to prepare for this sa-
cred ministry. Ensure that you are spiritually mature, physically and
emoonally mature before you get to think of marriage. Above all,
the Bible says in the multude of counsel there is security, so make
sure you do everything under the supervision of your spiritual leader.

TestimoniesI was so blessed
by the leadership program
in Bamenda ie the CAM-
CHESSA gathering. This program opened my eyes to leader
What I mean by this is that I learned on how to interact wit
leaders and as a leader I learned on how to treat and take c
those under me. Most importantly I was touched by the pa
humility whereby we were taught to always humble oursel
go down on our knees for our leaders to bless us. These are
in the Chrisan life that are to be known. When you do not
these you suer unnecessarily. Thank God I had an opportu
like this to learn this.By TANKA MIRIAMA, Firs
I was highly blessed by the program on the Holy
Spirit; the impartaon meeng. Despite learning so much o
Holy Spirit I received a miracle of healing. I was healed from
ness I had had for long. This was a great joy to me that rearmed the teaching of the day on the Holy Spirit. Further, a
learning on the Holy Spirit I was no longer scared as I used
because this meeng gave me a greater consciousness on t
Holy Spirit. Also because of this consciousness I can ow
beer with the Holy Spirit because I have so much consciou
due to knowledge on Him.By NJEATIH LINDA, First Y

-Those whose hearts and hands are open will
never stop receiving.
