Introduction

This is the second time that our team has visited Boumnyebel. The seed that was planted there almost a year ago has begun to bear fruit. The church which was established there during this mission in June 2023 receives at least 60 people per Sunday.

The purpose of this mission was to provide not only spiritual support to the young church, but also to offer the population social action, in particular free health care, and finally to evangelize the populations. Three approaches to communicating the Gospel were therefore developed to achieve our objectives.

The team was made up of several missionaries: pastors, doctors, nurses, and several evangelists.

The team was renewed with new missionaries gradually, according to the availability of medical staff and evangelists.

I. The medical approach

The Bible teaches us that the Lord Jesus went from place to place doing good and healing all those who were in the dominion of the devil (Acts 10.38). It was our desire. Seeing several vulnerable people receive free care.

But unfortunately, the same day we started, we received the order to stop. We reserve the right not to publish the institution, much less the name of the authority which ordered the end of the medical campaign. We were dejected to see children, young people, adults, and especially old people coming to the countryside without receiving care. Here is what started in images:

II. The screening approach

We screened several films and preached the message of the cross. The Film Jesus of Nazareth in Bassa (the local language), seemed to interest the population more. Several people showed their enthusiasm for following Jesus.

III. The approach to morning preaching

It has been more than 15 years since we last used this approach to evangelization. It consists of preaching the Gospel at dawn, precisely around 4:30 in the morning. We stood on a hill and preached with a megaphone. Everyone living in the valley was just listening to the voice that said, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Turn from your evil ways and return to your God who will have compassion on you, to this God who spared no effort to demonstrate that he loves us by offering us his only Son who took our place on the cross so that we might be saved by faith in him..."

It was truly wonderful.

IV. Doors to doors

Every day we went house to house, door to door, announcing the good news of salvation.

V. Difficulties encountered

• The refusal to continue our health campaign was the worst of the difficulties encountered during this mission.
• We also encountered numerous financial difficulties.

VI. Subjects of prayer

• Let us give thanks to God for this mission
• Let us give thanks for the souls who are committed to following the Lord
• Let us pray for the strengthening in the faith of these new converts
• Let us pray particularly for the three natives who joined the church on Sunday.
• Let us pray for the organization of a health campaign in Boumnyebel in July 2024
• Let us pray for the next mission in Somié in Adamawa.
• Let us pray that our sisters will be more involved in the mission as they were in this one.

Conclusion

We bless the Lord for this new mission. We are grateful that it is thanks to your material, financial, and above all spiritual support that we have succeeded in carrying out this mission. We will be very happy to have you at our side for the next mission which will take place in Somié.

Shalom

For Camfaith, your brother Maurice Yomsi
