Some 2000 years ago Jesus gave His disciples the command to go and make disciples from all people groups*. Over the past 2000 years, the church has often neglected this task. Even today, only about 1% of all money given to churches goes to reaching unreached people groups, and fewer than 1% of Christians are directly involved in reaching them. However, this does not excuse us from the task that Jesus gave us.
That is why my team and I are striving to reach unreached people groups with the message of Jesus
Christ. We also do this because we love these people, and cannot bear the thought of them going to hell because we failed to tell them the message that we were so graciously given.
We hope to accomplish this task by God's grace, through Evangelism, Discipleship, and Youth Mobilization.

The Big Picture
Our lifelong ministry goal: To be used by God to help establish communities of believers among nations, tribes, and tongues that do not yet have any ongoing Christian witness among them. To see every ethic group in the world reached with the message of Jesus.
Our five year ministry goal: To see communities of believers planted among the people groups in Cameroon that still do not have communities of believers among them (my research has indicated that there are between 6 and 16 such groups in Cameroon).
Note: There are about 280 distinct people groups in Cameroon, so the unreached peoples are in the minority. By God’s grace, we hope to be able to leave Cameroon in five years from now with there being NO language group in Cameroon that does not have indigenous churches among them.
Our One Year Ministry Goal: To strengthen and encourage churches in the Mayo-Banyo district of Cameroon (especially those among the Kwanja people), and to mobilize and enable some of the believers among them to plant churches among the Wawa people (one of the unreached people groups in Cameroon).
Strategy for Meeting These Goals:
1) Helping Cameroonian churches see how they can send out missionaries and be missionaries with the limited resources that they have.
2) Helping our Cameroonian brothers and sisters grow in their relationship with Jesus and passion for those who do not know of Him through life-on-life discipleship and
mentorship.
3) Providing education and Biblical training to motivated young people so that they can become the evangelists, disciplers, and Christian marketplace leaders of tomorrow.
When we look at all the evil in the world, we can see the earth groaning as in pains of childbirth, groaning in eager anticipation of Christ's return. We too groan inwardly, and long joyfully for His return. For only then will all wrongs be made right, & every mouth silenced before the Almighty God. But we also believe that the Bible indicates that before Jesus will return the gospel must first be preached to all peoples.**
