of Cry Cameroon Ministries [USA] and Harvest Children‘s Home (HCH) in Fujua, Cameroon. John is from Washington D.C.,
capital city of the United States. John is married to Linda and has 3 grown children and 4 grand children. They support the Harvest Dispensary near Nairobi, Kenya.

John says, ‘I also have another family high in the mountains of Cameroon and my heart is always there somehow.’
 Mark and Susan Dunn
are both members of the Cry Cameroon Ministries [USA] board, where Mark is the Vice President of Operations and Susan is the Secretary and Treasurer.
Both are filled with a passion to love this generation of Cameroonian orphans in Jesus’ name and see many other
Harvest Children’s Homes (HCH)
open throughout Cameroon and beyond.
Mark and Susan have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. They currently live in Albuquerque, NM where Mark is the pastor of Christ Fellowship ABQ, a brand new church started in 2012.
They lead an active life and love to hike, backpack, SCUBA Dive and travel.
 Christi Delgatty
is the Director of Volunteer Programs and Mission Trips. She would love to talk with you about how you can participate on any level with this ministry.
Her love for the children of Harvest Children‘s Home (HCH) began in 2005 when she began talking with Valentin about the needs of the children in Fundong, Cameroon.
After her first trip to visit these children and our partners in the area, she was ready to commit to helping Cry Cameroon Ministries [USA] and Harvest Children‘s Home (HCH)
grow both through prayer and hands–on participation.
Christi lives in Austin, Texas with her sister, 2 nieces, 1 nephew, and her dog, Jake. She is a trained sociologist with a research focus on the effectiveness of
short term humanitarian work and enjoys volunteering for projects with Cry Cameroon Ministries [USA] while looking for clear opportunities for increased ministry outreach
both locally and around the world. The driving force behind her humanitarian efforts is her desire and calling to spread the knowledge of Christ and
to teach believers of all ages how to grow in their Christian faith.
 Justin Colvard
is the newest Board Member of Cry Cameroon Ministries [USA]. He was born and raised in Hartshorne, Oklahoma and earned his Master’s degree in Public Health (MPH)
at Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans. With a heart for health–and–nutrition–related mission programs, Justin is currently working on
health, nutrition, and community development projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but his home in Africa will always be with the Harvest kids in Cameroon.
Justin loves to travel and learn new languages, which is one of the reasons he believes God has called him to work full–time in Africa. One of his favorite memories from
Harvest Children‘s Home (HCH) is spending hours and hours in the soccer field behind the orphanage improving his Kom (the dialect of this part of Northwest Cameroon) with
the children. Having visited the orphanage many times, he still looks forward to the next time he will be able to visit, and is always happy to chat with
someone interested in international missions.
