Speaking during the heavily attended
occasion, Rev. Ncham Godwill said the 70th Anniversary celebrations were
an eloquent testimony of God’s faithfulness. He went ahead to thank Governor Adolf
Lele L’Afrique, Governor of the Northwest Region for always being a friend of the
Nkwen Baptist Church and the CBC in general. Alluding to the fear that has
somewhat gripped the hearts of Cameroonians following recent happenings, the
CBC Executive President said “prophesy about Cameroon do not seem to come from
God” adding that “when false prophets speak falsely and call on the Church to
pray we pray because it is God calling for us to pray even though the call may
come through false prophets.”
Ni John Fru Ndi, Chairman of the Social Democratic Front who
was also in attendance said the Nkwen Hill which was a barren place some 70
years ago had been completely transformed. Thanks to the activities of the
Cameroon Baptist Convention there was now the Church, the hospital, the primary
and secondary school and the sprawling administrative block on the Nkwen Hill.
Ni John Fru Ndi further called for Christianity to be taken
into politics for the activities of politicians to have any meaningful impact
on the lives of Cameroonians.
Referring to the Nkwen Hill as the Holy Crown of CBC,
Governor Adolf Lele L’Afrique thanked the founding fathers of the Nkwen Baptist
Church for transforming the hitherto barren hill into a flourishing one. The
Church he said remain a reliable partner of the state and went ahead to thank
the Church for its laudable social services offered to Cameroonians in the form
of schools, hospitals among other things. The Governor of the Northwest Region
further said that God was the only guarantor of peace, growth, stability,
security and prosperity. “I count on your prayers and you have the total
collaboration and support of the Northwest Administration.” He equally
transmitted the best wishes of the Head of State President Paul Biya and those
of the Prime Minister and Head of Government Philemon Yang.
In a message packed sermon by Rev. Dr. Fanka Paul under the
theme “Move on, the best is yet to come” the learned Reverend Pastor referred
to the sad trends presently disturbing the world. He talked of accidents and
the loss of lives in great numbers like in the recent Eseka train accident,
Natural disasters like the Lake Nyos incident which took thousands of lives,
Lesbianism and Homosexuality. The Reverend did not fail to mention attempts by the
secular mind which is out to eliminate the religious as well as the dangerous
churches that are emerging and distorting the message. Christians he said
shouldn’t be discouraged because Christ was still on the throne and the best
was yet to come. He said “we can only be confident by knowing Christ and that
this can be achieved by forgetting the past and moving forward focusing on the
future.
Also in attendance were Fai Yengo Francis, erstwhile Governor
of the Center and Littoral Regions, Former Minister Ngaferson, Regional Delegate
of Basic Education for the Northwest Region, Delegation from the Nigerian Union
in Bamenda amongst many others.
