Wycliffe Africa officially accepted our membership on 01 March, and our Church organized a commissioning event on 04 June. Lilian and I are the first Cameroonians to become Wycliffe Africa Missionaries, so this was all new to our Church and us. However, the Church did well to involve the denominational leadership, so we were encouraged by the presence of the Association Pastor, the Field Pastor, and the Executive President of the Cameroon Baptist Convention. A delegation came from Kenya (the Director of Wycliffe Africa and 3 Pastors from Parklands Baptist Church in Nairobi). The coming of Parklands Baptist Church was very timely to equally begin discussing strategic partnerships with two Baptist Churches in Yaounde (Etoug-Ebe and Grace Baptist Church). This partnership looks into the Africa Agenda under the great commission - Matthew 28:18-19. Our commissioning event turned out to be an international event. Some friends and family members told us they had come purposely to understand clearly what was happening with us, but in the end, they testified that it was indeed a God-honoring event.
