About Cameroon Mission Work
Cameroon Mission Work (CA.M.WORK) is a ministry opportunity spearheaded by Louis and Linda Bassay after they returned to Cameroon in summer 2018. The work is devoted to the Lord with the intent of saving souls, strengthening the saved and serving the society. This is a continuation of what has long been their passion. It is their intention to share with others what CAMWORK is all about hoping and praying to catch the attention of godly men and women interested in mission work.
This work is overseen by the Cloverdale Church of Christ in Searcy AR, in collaboration with the Bonaberi Church of Christ in Cameroon. It is a full-time commitment for Both Louis and Linda and covers a wide range of activities based on the nature of work in Cameroon and the multiple training and awareness they are receiving from Harding University.
This covers but not limited to: i) Church planting and the strengthening of existing congregations, ii) writing and implementation of Sunday school curriculum, iii) a radio/video ministry which is an outstanding way to make use of technology in the preaching and spreading of the word, iv) leadership training seminars (this include training youth for the work of ministry), v) Cameroon Connection projects (help to the community, VBS, short term mission, scholarships and so on). This endeavor sometimes involves both native preachers and visiting missionaries/students from the US.
Louis and Linda returned to Cameroon in the summer of 2018 blessed to be tools in the hands of God to enhance the growth of the church in Cameroon in whatever capacity He desires. The starting point of their ministry has focused on:
- Strengthening existing congregations through preaching and teaching, travelling extensively within the country.
- The Village Seminar, a women's ministry sharing effective ways of teaching children using the Noble Age curriculum.
- Leadership Training Seminars, the ideal format for part-time ministers to grow without leaving their livelihood.
To invest in the future of the church is to work with the youth. Harding University runs a program called the Kerusso Experience whose goal is to train and encourage teen boys in the skill of preaching. Louis plans to replicate the program, hoping to build a partnership with Harding in this endeavor.
CAMWORK also works with the existing preacher training schools in the country to help develop a more comprehensive and effective curriculum.
- Promote children's classes through new curriculum, teaching techniques, village seminars and a video ministry.
- Reach out to the community through VBS in different locations during July and August.
- Focus on church planting in the French part of Cameroon.
- Develop a video ministry to record sermons and lessons for broader audiences.
- Participate in Cameroon Connection Projects: medical missions, humanitarian efforts, scholarships, potable water, and more.
