CAMEROON

Cameroon is in Central Africa, with the southwest coast of the Atlantic Gulf of Guinea. This place was once a colony of France and Britain. It is the most complex ethnic African country. There are more than 500 ethnic groups in the country and 280 languages, of which 44 ethnic groups are still difficult to spread. Most of them are in remote and backward areas to join the gospel, and because they use different languages, it makes the gospel work of these ethnic groups more difficult. The Christian Church in Yaoundé Cameroon was established in 2000. Rev. Liu Tong met Rev. Rose Amah when hewasvisiting Togo in 2004. With the same vision, Rev. Rose Amah and her church officially joined the family of ROLCC in April of 2005 and became the first daughter Church of ROLCC in Cameroon.Pastor Rose Amah and her family, brothers and sisters are all ministers with great missionary responsibilities. Since 2006, they have successively planted the branch churches in different townships around Cameroon, once there were as many as 12branches. They have a well-gifted children's choir, and they dispatched missionaries to spread the Gospel of the kingdom of God as well. The branch office in Mujaukar also established local charities such as orphanages and medical clinics serving local communities. In February 2018, Pastor Rose Amah suffered a stroke caused by her chronic diabetes. Pastor Tong initially arranged for her to receive treatment and rehab in Taiwan, Chia-Yi Christian Hospital. Later she opted to go to Chicago to be near her sister for treatment. The responsibility of shepherding the churches fell on her daughter Ida, compounding with the civil war that broke out in 2016, several branch churches were severely impacted and forced to be closed. Currently there is only one church remaining in Cameroon. Praise our Lord, pastor Rose has recovered her speech and has returned to Cameroon in April of 2019. Pray for the complete healing of Pastor Rose that all who suffered with her can be comforted. May the Lord raise up more leaders and co-workers, to take on all the ministry of the churches. At the same time, pray for God’s guidance and grace to continue to use this church, expand their realm, remove all obstacles, and become atestimony of God’s power, and a channel of God’s blessings. In 2024, not only will we continue to focus on church planting, but we will also hire a new pastor in Douala. Wehopethat this year we will not only train more staff teams and pastors, but also have more branches to carry out gospel work in Cameroon.
