Reports from N'chang and Bova: Livestock and Other Church Activities
These reports come from two English-speaking congregations. N'chang is located in the Mamfe district, and is difficult to reach during the rainy season. Bova is located on the side of Mount Cameroon, above Buea. Both churches are struggling with the issues of how to do effective ministry in their unique context.
N’chang UMC
The N’chang congregation in Jesus name extend greetings to the Mission Director, our special guests, pastors and delegates of all the congregation here present on the occasion of the second annual meeting in
We sincerely thank the mission office for creating a district in Mamfe for WUMC (United Methodist Women of Cameroon) and the HIV/AIDS team which came to N’chang for sensitization. Three souls were won into the church as a result of this program.
Our church has recorded some successes in the year 2006 as opposed to 2005. This success will triple in 2007 as a result of more souls coming into the church. Five new Sunday School children need baptism. The church has realized a livestock project which is in progress. The church now takes care and will in the future use income realized from this project for church purposes.
Due to increase in the number of Christians, there is lack of seating places. We therefore wish the mission office should kindly assist us.
May God raise this mission in
