Robert Grossenbacher is the Vice President of Cry Cameroon Ministries [USA]. Robert and his wife Mary have had a special interest in supporting foreign missions and missionaries since the mid 1970s. They were the first supporters of the ministry of Valentin Mbong, the founder of Harvest Children's home. Rob was born and raised in San Francisco, California. He has a BS in Electrical Engineering from San Jose State University and has been a circuit, system, and product designer most of his career. Following college, however, he served as an officer in the US Air Force and is a Viet Nam veteran. Robert and Mary have two married children and two grand children. He and Mary serve in leadership at Pinole Valley Community Church in Pinole Valley, California.

John Wright is from Washington DC. He was born there in 1942 and attended school in the city. "I had a keen sense of the international quality of DC early as a child and enjoyed growing up there". After graduating from Washington Bible College in Southern Maryland, John felt called into pastoral ministry with emphasis on Missions. He has pastored in Maryland and California. He currently is pastor at Pinole Valley Community Church in the SF bay area. John and wife Linda, have three grown children and four grand children in Maryland and Texas. John says, "I also have another family high in the mountains of Cameroon and my heart is always there somehow". He and Linda are also supporting Harvest Dispensary, near Nairobi Kenya.

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 began back 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 Homes grow both through prayer and hands-on participation.

Christi lives in Austin, Texas with her sister, two nieces, one nephew, and her dog Jake. She is currently studying the effectiveness of short term humanitarian work and 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. He was born and raised in Hartshorne, Oklahoma, earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Chemistry and French at Texas Christian University in 2009, and is now finishing up his Master in Public Health at Tulane University in New Orleans. With a heart for medical, nutritional, and other health-related mission projects, Justin is pursuing a career in international health and nutrition consulting, hoping one day to live somewhere near Cameroon in West or Central Africa.

Justin loves to travel, and spends most of his time moving between Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas, and Africa. He is always trying new things, and enjoys rock climbing, SCUBA diving, dancing, backpacking, and couch surfing in new places. His favorite hobby, however, is learning new languages, which is one of several reasons why he believes that he'll one day live full time in Africa.
