CAMEROON

 Recently, the Fremont Chapel GBC sent the Panel a letter requesting to be officially recognized as the sponsoring church for Cameroon.  They are in the process of putting together a written plan.  Brother David Burris, a former missionary to Africa, is the contact person to the men in Cameroon from Fremont Chapel.

 Church Planter Salomon Zambo reports:  Pray for Afoni, a new brother in Christ, who is also in the Practorium now here in Kumbo.  He is precious to us for he is the first Banso man here in Kumbo to really show potential as a pastor.  Afoni is married and has two children.

 Eric Fongang writes:  It has been nearly 1 year since I came to Yaoundé for ministry.  Before this I worked for a building/ construction company in the capital.  Having received the Lord’s call, I left to go to the Cameroon Biblical Seminary.  After all the separations that we have had, I’m in the process of directing a young group.  We are actually 6 believers who meet in my apartment.  Wednesday evening is Bible study.  Sunday morning at 9 am is our worship service.  All these meetings take place in my house.  I have some work - I’m a salesman at a Christian bookstore in the center of Yaoundé.  I am open to advice, council.

 Roger Yoda in Abong Mbang writes:  The evangelization campaign in Dimako went well.  Six people from three families were saved during the five days.  The man who was in prison and to be released this month, is from Dimako and is interested in being trained for the ministry.  His name is Michel.  The Abong Mbang church has currently planned to return to Dimako each month for three days to follow-up on this small group of believers, among whom there is already a faithful brother who can help in their spiritual growth.  Travel to Dimako takes 2 hours and 30 minutes by taxi, about 100 kms./62 miles. Continue to pray for this group in Dimako and the one in Abong Mbang.
