| Rev. Fonki |
The Moderator of the
Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, Rev. Fonki Samuel has called on PCC Christians
of the Donga Mantung Presbytery to be patriotic in their way of life. In his
sermon titled: Don’t Give up, PCC Moderator told the story of a poor woman who
had no status before the law but resisted injustice. Injustice, corruption,
embezzlement, capital flight have chopped the foundation of humanity giving
room to egoistic systems of governance in Africa. Rev. Fonki Samuel also
decried that the judiciary which is supposed to serve as the watchdog is
unfortunately estranged in Africa by authoritative regimes. This egoistic system
of governance, he lamented is partially or is responsible for the vice. While
congratulating the 111 congregations that make up the Donga Mantung Presbytery
and their partners in Germany for the numerous projects achieved, Rev. Fonki
Samuel equally called on the Christians to use their products. He said PHS
Nkambe should be the pride of Donga Mantung Division given that it also ensures
the right moral upbringing of youths. On the Mbembe Project, he urged the
Presbytery to reflect on how the project to could be transformed into
generating income. He also used the opportunity to call on the Christians to
pray for pastors’ inorder to encourage them to serve as good leaders in the
various communities.
Rev. Titatang Kingsley
on his part, presented a message from the friendly (church partner) in Germany.
On the other hand, the mayor of Nkambe, Ngabir Paul Bantar told the Moderator
that people the people Christians could elect him to pilot the affairs of the
PCC, God had earlier elected him to the duty post. He said that even though the
church as challenges, “the church is equally up to the task”. He concluded by
calling on the PCC to maintain its frontline position as mainstream church.
Rev. Eyakwe Joseph Tata
Nagunda, Donga Mantung Presbytery Secretary in a briefing with journalists said
he was satisfied with the recommendations of the Moderator and the fact that PC
Nkambe was sanctified as a worshipping house. Rev. Eyakwe also used the
opportunity to express a message of thanks to their partner in Germany as well
as called on the population to send their children to PHS Nkambe, which he
said, is the citadel of standards. He also expressed gratitude to the Moderator
for the scholarship program that he has offered to students and would be
students of PHS Nkambe.

It should be recalled
that a sum of FCFA 1,865,350 was raised to refurbish the Nkambe town
Presbyterian Church. The fundraising which took place under the chairmen’s hip
of the Mayor of Nkambe, Ngabir Paul Bantar, Hon. Awudu Mbaya, Questor at the
National Assembly and SDO for Donga Mantung gave the church a new way. Talking
to journalists at the end of the day, Hon. Awudu Mbaya said that considering
the importance of the event, he had to travel from Yaounde to Nkambe to be
part. According to Hon. Awudu, the Church has a duty to check societal excesses
and the PCC has been doing it with a lot of dexterity. He described Rev. Fonki
as a chosen God servant and messenger. Accordingly, Hon. Awudu said he
appreciated the message of the Moderator given that the church (House of God)
should not be a place of gossip, backbiting, slanders and all sort of obnoxious
acts. Christians, he said should live in Love, peace and harmony.
It should be recalled
that while in Donga Mantung Division, Rev. Fonki Samuel was crowned with the
traditional title of Ta Nformi, while the Synod Clerk was also honoured with
the Tamfu.
