Since 2003, our MNO Synod has been blessed to have a global companion relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cameroon (EELC). This relationship had its beginnings when we got to know Pastor Etienne Fomgbami and family, who came to be missionaries to us from the Cameroon. Our continuing relationship is one based on praying for one another, visiting one another, and on joint ministry priorities that are beneficial to both of our churches. Over the years, we have been blessed to have a number of people from our synod visit and work with our partners in Cameroon, as well as [...]
