I've endured hardships and sleepless nights, faced hunger and thirst, and gone without food and warmth; yet, my greatest challenge is the daily weight of responsibility for the well-being of all churches. Reflecting on 2 Cor. 11: 27-28 and the Apostle Paul's unwavering dedication to Christ and His Church, I'm reminded of the modern-day missionaries who bravely face similar trials in foreign lands. Sadly, many are losing their passion for serving Christ and His Church. Will you let apathy take hold, or will you declare like I do: 'Woe unto me if I don't preach Christ, His Church, and the gospel'?

Cameroon Mission Update: October and November 2025.
Dear friends and supporters,
I hope this update finds you well and filled with the joy of the Lord. I want to take a moment to share with you some recent highlights and challenges from our mission work in Cameroon. As I write, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible work God is doing here and the privilege we have to be a part of it.
Overcoming Adversity:
In October, we faced a challenging period due to a lockdown called by separatist leaders in our region to disrupt the presidential election scheduled for October 12, 2025. Despite the obstacles, our school and congregational activities continued, and God provided protection and provision throughout. It was a testament to the resilience and commitment of our students and staff.
The Election and Call for Peace:
The presidential election has come and gone, with the incumbent president being given another 7 years in office, which would take him to 50 years in office as the president of Cameroon. As the country navigates this new chapter, we pray for peace and stability, that God will guide and direct the leaders and the people of this nation.
Gospel Momentum:
November was a fruitful month, with our radio evangelistic program reaching a wider audience and three individuals deciding to follow Christ through baptism. We are grateful for the opportunities to share the gospel and see lives transformed.
Vehicle Challenges:
We are still struggling with our motor, which has been a challenge for our ministry. We are grateful for the donations we have received so far for repairs, but we still working to get it back on the road, mechanic is trying to put everything in place, am still following up on it.
Upcoming National Gospel Lectureship:
We are excited about the upcoming National Gospel Lectureship.
We are looking forward to the National Gospel Lectureship, scheduled to take place from December 16-21, 2025. This event promises to be a time of refreshing and renewal for our souls, and we pray that God will bless it abundantly. We invite you to join us in prayer for the success of this program.
Prayer Requests:
I would appreciate your prayers for our mission efforts, particularly in the area of financial support. We rely on God’s provision to continue our work, and your partnership is crucial to our success. We are trusting God to provide for our needs, and we know that He is faithful. I also pray that you will join us in praying for the peace and stability of our region. We are aware that the challenges we face are not unique to us, and we believe that prayer can make a significant difference.
Gratitude:
I am deeply grateful for your support and encouragement. Your partnership has made a tangible impact in the lives of our students and the community we serve. Your generosity has enabled us to continue our mission efforts, and we are thankful for your investment in the kingdom of God. Your prayers, words of encouragement, and financial support have meant a great deal to us, and we are grateful for your love and commitment.
Looking Ahead:
We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to celebrating our school graduation early next year by the grace of God depending on the security situation. We are preparing our students to be salt and light in their communities, and we are confident that God will use them to make a significant impact. I pray that you will continue to join us in prayer and support as we seek to advance the gospel in Cameroon.
Thank You:
Once again, thank you for your love, prayers, and support. Your partnership has meant a great deal to us, and we are grateful for your trust in us. We are honored to serve alongside you in the body of Christ and look forward to seeing what God will do in the days ahead.

Declaring the gospel truth with passion to the perishing world.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The shall live by faith,"
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of man, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
Romans 1:16-19.

Dear brethren,
February 2018 Mission update .
We bring you greetings from your brothers and sisters in Christ in the country of Cameroon , especially from staff and students of the Cameroon Institute of Biblical Studies, and the church of Independent street, Bamenda. We praise God that our ministers training school continues to go ahead because of your moral and financial support, thanks for your prayers and support . We are doing our best to encourage the neighboring churches around and to train faithful men and women who are willing to serve in God’s vineyard. Here is another opportunity to share with you news and events that took place within the school and the churches around.
We were able to meet up with our academic and religious activities as scheduled despite the sociopolitical crisis which is persisting in the two Anglophone Regions of the country. We continue to covet your regular prayers for peace to reign as many folks are doing their best to find a lasting solutions to the ongoing problems in Cameroon. We are not alarm by the problem but see it as an opportunity to deepen our trust in God who ordained men in position of authority for a purpose and to accomplish His will.
Our students were engaged in several evangelistic trips to Awing where we started a new congregation weeks ago . They were equally involved in preaching and teaching in various congregations, they are doing their very best to the glory of God. Our staff also carried out their function of nurturing and maturing the saints in their respective congregations during the month of February 2018. To God be the glory.
We are requesting that you continue to pray for one of our students, Enow Kevin who has been sick for months now and he is unable to resume school. Pray equally for the brethren who are hiding in other neighboring villages because of the problem in their community and for those who sustained injuries and those who loss their love ones. Pray to God for more assistance from brethren and Roger Kondrup to be able to raise the needed funds for a van to ease our movement . Pray for our plan trip to visit the brethren in the States this summer. Pray for funds to keep on with our radio evangelism program and regular support for the school needs.
The work is enormous and challenging, the funding is limited, but if we join our hands together we will accomplish great things for the Lord in Africa by His grace. Thank you for your generous donation and prayers.
Less I forget, we had 2 baptism last month and many were edified. God bless you.
In Him we trust,
Prince O. Ituen
School Director.
