Village
to Village - Summer 2009 Missions Program
This year, Village Baptist Church decided to reach out to a remote
village in Cameroon, Africa. One of our members learned that his
home church there was trying construct a new building, because the old
one (pictured below) had started to crumble and will not last much
longer.
Bamunkumbit
Baptist Church in North West Province, Cameroon
We learned from the pastor of the
Bamunkumbit Baptist Church that their congregation has drawn up plans
for a new building and obtained a cost estimate of a bit more than
7,000,000 Cameroon francs, or about $US 15,000. Compared to the
cost of a building in the U.S., that amount sounds like a bargain, but
it represents a lot of money for a small village in Cameroon.
Village Baptist decided that we should help a fellow Christian
congregation, particularly since we have a personal
contact.
Our program, Village to Village, is simply to raise money during the
summer and then send it to this church in the Fall. Please watch
the Village Baptist Home Page for information about
upcoming fund-raising activities, or send a direct donation marked
"Cameroon."
