Report from Gregory brady's visit to Cameroon

Reports from Gregory Brady’s missionary visit to Cameroon

Dear friends visitors and members of ASSOBOM,

While hoping you are well as well as your families, I wanted to update you on Gregory Brady’s missionary trip to Cameroon (Canadian).

Gregory Brady was welcomed and received by ASSOBOM in Douala on November 13th 2010. A day later we drove him to the airport where he had to meet with GVI for his scientific trip.

On Saturday 11th December, he came to yaounde from Buea accompanied by a young black man.We collected them from MUSSANGO voyage to our compound where they had some food and refreshment before heading for Hotel Safari where I booked a room for two nights (he paid me back for that charge us$ 70). The next day, we went to church where he was welcomed and had to share with the church for about 20 minutes. We had communion that Sunday. After we had a meeting with the church leaders who asked him about his mission and his expectations from the church. Brady said he was only there on behalf of Mercy League International.Then we had a cocktail at the pastor’s house.Later on a general assembly with ASSOBOM and members. He could see and met with the board members and the rest of members. He gave us many suggestions. He suggested us to narrow our goals and set a plan (we did it a submitted a plan to him the next day which he appreciated an kept). He suggested us to gather the support from other churches because the actual Pentecostal affiliated with ASSOBOM now is a small church with its own burdens too.We also discussed about the commitment of members.He could visit my residence as well as my daughter and fiancée. He gave her us $ 50 and another us $50 to jacky (she helped cook for food and led prayers during his sojourn with us).

Brady left yaounde on Monday 13th December 2010 by bus (BUCCAVOYAGE) around 2pm after visiting a nearby orphanage for Douala where he had to meet with his son before heading to South Africa.

My impression about Gregory Brady is that, he is a very down to earth person. He is hardworking with experience on charity work.His French is understandable and he is committed to help in Haiti (School etc). Brady is a faithful Christian and could testify of the works of God in his life.

Sincerely

- affiliation to a local based christian church
- holding of monthly board meeting and general assemblies
- registration of new members
- donation of school furniture and clothing to about 109 orphans last August 2010 in an orphanage ''SOS Villages d'Enfants Cameroun).

This has earn us a missionary's visit from Mercy League International. So next November 13th we'll welcome Mr. Gregory Brady at the Douala International airport. ASSOBOM will have a 4 working days session with him from 11 December to 14 December.

ASSOBOM with Michel and team to impact patients spiritually, materially and physically in Sub-Saharan Africa (Cameroon)

Dear members and visitors,

Michel has been badly burned during a fire accident about 12 years ago. Today, he uses his handicap to share the wonders of God did in sparing his life and to preach the word of God to patients in hospitals.

ASSOBOM has agreed to support Michel and team by providing them with all they need to carry on their mission.

The task of Michel and team isn't easy. They do face many difficulties. Some patients they preach to could be more accessible to the word of God if they were provided medical care. In addition, those patients also need in addition to the spiritual support, to be impacted materially, financially and physically.

Please join us (ASSOBOM) to impact people's lives in Africa.If you would like to do anything to back our effort, feel free to let us know.

Together we can make a difference with ASSOBOM in the developing world.

Sincerely

The founder president

Report of the General Assembly of ASSOBOM of june 20,2010

Dear members, friends and visitors,

Every term we hold general assemblies aside our monthly board meetings for updates and to take important decisions regarding how we should carry on our humanitarian activities.

This sunday,20th June 2010 was a special one in the sense that Pastors and church leaders were introduced to the assembly.In addition, pastors jean Gerard Ayangma and Timothé Calice Essama were integrated in the board of ASSOBOM.

About 20 people answered to our invitations.We emailed invitations to some butmost of them did not come so next time we'll rather call them or send them sms since very few have web access.

Pastor Jean Gerard Ayagma prayed for the upening after i had read the agenda.After i welcomed guests and members.I shared to them the genesis os ASSOBOM (Association Oyili Bot Main dans la Main) as well as its humanitarian vision and had to introduce the members of the board.

Then it was to the Excecutive president (Mr. Okéné richard) to make a report of our activities (affiliation to the pentecostal church, letter of encouragement from the director Mercy League International, our registration with the government of cameroon among others) and give the perspecives ( potential visit of Mercy League International to Cameroon as well as shows to be performed by the Storm Generation led by the Outlaw Poet Ron Whitehead from the USA in Cameroon with home musicians...)

A report of finances by the Treasurer followed.After electing pastor Jean Gerard Ayangma to the position of 1st financial auditor and pastor timothé Calice Essama as vice secretary, Reverend Ayangma preached to participants about the happiness we get in giving than receiving in the the light of scriptures from the Bosks of Proverbs 11:24 and 1 john 3:16 .People were deeply touched and some registered with ASSOBOM.

We took photos and finaly had some refreshment and food offered by the church.

Together we can make a difference in the developing world and especially in Cameroon (Africa)

Sincerely

The founder president

NEWS REPORT FROM ASSOBOM

Dear friends and members of ASSOBOM,

It has been a while since you last heard from us. The Lord has been working things out for this humanitarian group and especially its founder (myself).

About my life, I’m a 34 years old Cameroonian from a catholic family and the elder of seven children. I managed to attend an education and now I have a bachelor’s degree in private law. I’ve volunteered with missionaries from North America for years. Now, I teach English part time as a second language in a private high school (from September to May).I’m living with Carine and a father of a 2 months old daughter named (Danielle Grace).Early this month I was baptised by Reverend Pastor Jean Gérard Ayangma of the Christian Pentecostal church of Cameroon.Since about a month now, I attend regularly that church to nurture my faith.

As far as ASSOBOM’s work is concerned. ASSOBOM registered with the government of Cameroon last year as and association (Registration N°001342/RDA/JO6/BAPP of August 25th 2009) and as the Lord provides become an NGO (Non Governmental Organisation).Since the beginning of 2010, the group has been praying for the leadership of God. About 2 months ago, i met Reverend pastor Ayangma and he agreed with the vision of ASSOBOM (joining people together to help orphans, widows and people in distress James 1:27).Since then, i have been working with the administrator of the church on a convention between ASSOBOM and the Christian Pentecostal Church.We plan once the convention signed sometimes this month (God willing) to reorganise the board to allow pastors and even westerners to join the board. From then set new plans of action to reach people in distress (We want the Lord to build this cause).We are also working on a logo and stamp for ASSOBOM (the stamp is now available).The church has been helping me to support part of the costs.

I would like to praise the Lord for what he has been doing for ASSOBOM and in my life. This cause would not have reached this far without you dear friends and members. I would like to thank especially, the Director of Mercy League International (Shane Mattenley) for his prayers, support and suggestions. My gratitude goes also to Jamie Wurm (CANADA) who believed in ASSOBOM from the very start and supported. I would like also to thank all of you who have been part of this mission. May the Lord bless you all .

ASSOBOM faces some problems too. The church hosting ASSOBOM is a growing one and is renting the plot of land where they are based here in yaounde and other costs to meet with. So we don’t have all the support we need so far. Plus we need the leadership of the Lord to know what do to and where to go.

We would be grateful if you could pray for ASSOBOM as we proceed .Especially for board members for leadership and provision/

Sincerely,

Hervé Serge Amoa
