Transformation: Cameroon

In May 2026, a team of Canadians will be visiting and serving our partners in Yaounde and Mbouda, Cameroon serving in Bible Translation ministry, as they carry out Scripture Engagement activities.

Our desire is to experience how the Word of God in their own languages is transforming lives, and to support the local church and translation teams. We will pray for the work and the workers, as well as discern how God may be leading each of us to be a part of this exciting ministry beyond this trip.

Trip Overview
Experience how God’s Word is transforming lives in Cameroon through Scripture engagement, prayer walks, and serving alongside local churches. This journey will stretch your faith, grow your skills and give you a renewed vision of who God is and how He works.

What?

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.

The trip costs approximately $1000 plus airfare (approx. $2,500). Flights from your city to Yaoundé are included in the estimated airfare price; travel to your nearest airport is your responsibility. The price covers all accommodation, flights, food, visas, rental cars and tourism activities. You may also bring extra money for souvenirs.

Hear from participants

This experience is more than a trip; it’s an invitation to experience God’s Word at work and to be transformed by it.

"This trip is called Transformation, and there is no better way to be transformed than to personally witness the power of the Word of God at work in people's lives across the globe....If you come on this trip, I am sure God will reward you richly with a brand new view of who He is and how He works."

- Aidan Eyre, 2025 trip participant

"The word that caught me was transformation. How the word of God transforms people, that’s what brought me here. I came to see other people being transformed, but I’m the one being transformed. I was not coming so that I could be transformed, but God is so merciful – my perspective on the Word of God was transformed too."

- Celina Carlos, 2025 trip participant

"My expectation was to hear from God specifically and to grow a heart for the world church. Before the trip, I was someone who was devoted to Christ and His mission locally. After, I feel a big shift into thinking about His mission globally. That’s a change I didn’t anticipate. The team interactions have been so rich, with learning and speaking into other people’s situations."

- Tom Stobbe, 2025 trip participant
