Project Information

Preaching and interacting with other existing churches and alleviate human suffering.

Describe the need affecting community

The current political crisis in Cameroon has an adverse effect on the UMC Cameroon as a whole. Many churches in the conflict-affected zones are closed due to serious gun shorts on daily basis. Majority of our churches have lost members due to constant migration, as Christians keep moving from one city to the other for safety. In addition, there are limited access to capital and job market for entrepreneurial youths of conflict-affected zones. This makes them more vulnerable to radicalization, criminality, teenage pregnancy, and early marriage, and further endangering the economic structure of their communities and the body of Christ. There is a need of creating income-generating projects in order to ensure the sustainability of the church in the future and training of more leaders, Pastors and Laity.

How will this Advance project help to address the need?
