US dollars Canadian dollars US dollars Canadian dollarsCameroon/Nigeria
Goal: Ongoing
Evangelism, education, and community development are the three priority projects of the least-reached people group we serve in Cameroon and Nigeria. Our three priorities are interconnected, with no single project progressing without the other two also moving ahead. For Christians in their faith communities, bringing the Good News of Jesus to others is the ultimate goal. Education and community development (including humanitarian aid) are entered into strategically so that the Gospel will be seen, experienced, and promoted. All together, these projects are leading to lives being transformed by Jesus Christ to the glory of God.
