The first part of what God is calling my team and I to do is evangelism. This will often involved trekking long distances by foot to remote villages that have never before heard the gospel. At other times it may mean traveling by bike, motorcycle or horseback.
When we first arrive in a given region of Cameroon, we plan to begin our work by doing some research on that region, to find out which villages in that region do not yet have any believers. If they do not have any believers than it is usually because no one has yet presented the Gospel to them in a clear and relevant way. Once we have a list of the unreached villages, we will try to locate the nearest mature churches to those unreached villages. My team and I will go to those churches and meet with the leaders of those churches. We will serve the local pastors in whatever ways we can, and also begin to pray with them for the nearest unreached villages. Then, after some time of praying with them (if they do not suggest it themselves), we will suggest to them that we train some of the more mature believers in their congregation to go and plant a community of believers in the unreached village(s) nearby. If the pastors are in favor of this, we will begin to train members of their congregation in basic methods of evangelism and discipleship, using the Bible as our primary text book.
Then we will go with the national believers, and help them in any ways we can as they present the Gospel for the first time in the unreached village. Then after a week or so, we will move on from that village and begin the same process somewhere else, leaving the national believers there to disciple and instruct the people in the Word of God. We will visit the church there about six months later to see how things are going there.
In this way we will not only be reaching unreached villages with the Gospel ourselves, but ultimately getting the national Cameroonian believers to do so. We will do this by God's grace, and as His Holy Spirit enables us and inspires His church in Cameroon.
