​Transformation: Cameroon

A team of Canadians will experience firsthand how God’s Word is transforming lives and communities in Cameroon. Together, we’ll serve language projects and local churches through Scripture engagement activities, while also reflecting on the next faithful step God may be inviting each participant to take. The Transformation experience includes eight pre-trip discipleship and training sessions (Jan–Apr), three weeks in Yaoundé, Cameroon and surrounding areas (May), and a post-trip debrief.

Goals: See transformation—and experience it yourself. Witness the transformation that happens when people receive God’s Word in their heart language. Complete pre-field and on-field training to build a strong foundation for missions involvement. Learn and engage in prayer walks in strategic areas of Cameroon. Experience the importance of prayer for global missions. Work as a team to support local churches, communities and translation teams through Scripture engagement activities. Develop communication, leadership and interpersonal skills, using them to benefit the team and our partners. Cultivate a learning posture as a way to serve others. Debrief and reflect on your own skills and interests, and consider your next faithful step in cross-cultural service.
