What began as a journey that some doubted would include a return trip ignited a firestorm of faith. Our early missionaries would be amazed at how their efforts triggered events that resulted in Kingdom impact across the entire country of Cameroon. Today, we are all tasked with sharing God’s love and our faith in Him with the people God puts in our path. And like the early missionaries, we may never know this side of heaven the impact our actions are having now or in the future.

A simple health clinic . . . and now the Cameroon Baptist Convention (CBC) operates 16 hospitals, 26 integrated health centres, and 52 primary health centres.

A grass roof school . . . and now over 150 primary schools, 14 secondary schools, one seminary with 2 campuses, and thousands of lives changed as a result.

A small prayer gathering . . . and now over 1,500 CBC churches.

A few faithful missionaries . . . and now 60 CBC National Missionaries.

The CBC missionaries gathered for their annual retreat April 13–16. This time of training and encouragement under the theme of Living Out the Peace of God was met with enthusiasm by the missionaries. These pastors serve in rural and remote areas and are also reaching out to least-reached people groups. NAB has been coming alongside these missionaries through the Assist a National Missionary Project and have provided Bibles, motorcycles and lifejackets.

Motorcycles have made a significant difference – enabling missionaries to travel farther and share the Good News in more villages. Without them, missionaries must walk long distances or wait for motorcycle taxis with unpredictable availability and high transport costs, limiting how many communities they can reach. Recently, Pastor Jumbuin received a motorcycle. He has planted four churches in the East Region, and this motorcycle will make it easier for him to visit these churches and additional preaching points. If you would like to support these missionaries you can donate by clicking here for US donations or here for Canadian donations.

In my February 2025 newsletter, I introduced the Ekoumdoum Maternity Project.

I am happy to report that this project has been completed! The new building is now providing a welcoming environment for the women. The staff appreciate having more space in which to care for the women, and more than 100 babies that are born at Ekoumdoum each month. Thank you for your generous donations that made this possible!

We are excited to be going to Cameroon later this month. Craig will once again serve at Rain Forest International School in the finance department. I will meet with CBC leaders to discuss ways the NAB can come alongside the CBC and evaluate our current projects. I will also be meeting with the team that receives our White Cross containers and distributes them to the various CBC ministries. With at least five containers a year, you can imagine there are a lot of logistics to consider, as well as a constant evaluation of what items are needed or of high priority to source. Our discussions help us discover how White Cross can best assist the CBC.

We are looking to grow our team in Cameroon. We have openings in a variety of different roles. Some of these include:

  • Doctors – internal medicine specialists, anesthesiologists, pathologists, surgeons, and general medicine.
  • Operating room nurse – to teach a perioperative course.
  • Physiotherapists – interested in teaching.
  • Pastors – interested in least-reached people groups.
  • Teachers – for middle school and high school at Rain Forest International School (rfis.org).

 
Please contact me at nabfdcameroon@gmail.com or the NAB International Office if you would like to hear more about the opportunities available.

Thanks for continuing to partner with me. Your faithfulness is making a difference throughout Cameroon.
