Harping on the giving exercise by the Church he
quoted the popular Bible verse “for God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son so that who so ever believeth in him should not perish but
have ever lasting life.” He explained that the primary essence of the Church
was to show the love of God and that this love must be extended to the less
privileged. “That’s why we go out there and visit people and orphanages and
offer gifts. The love of God was extended to us through giving and ours must be
extended to others through giving.” Giving he said is a sign of love and that
was seen in the Almighty sacrificing His only son. The only thing man can give
in return is to show love for one another.”
Harping on
the role of the Church at this time when Cameroon was going through
sociopolitical crises, the Arch Priest of OFM International Bamenda and
Coordinator for West Africa II said the role of the church was simply to stand
out as the light. “You are the light of the world and a city that is placed on
the top of the hill cannot be hidden. The church is the light of the nation and
without light there will be darkness. If the prayers had not been going on we
would have had a more deadly situation in the country. We have been praying,
fasting and waiting on the Lord since the crises began. As a Church in
Cameroon, we have been praying for the nation and our prayer is for peace.”
Muma
George, Chairman of Projects at the Arch Parish in Bamenda said it was the
tradition of the OFM Family to reach out to needy orphans and that this takes
place every year. He said it was an initiative of the Arch Priest of Bamenda
and Coordinator of West Africa II. Alluding to the Bible he said love surpassed everything describing
the gesture of reaching out to orphans which took place on Saturday November 18
as an act of love and fellowship. “It is the nature and purpose of the Ministry
especially from the Head Quarters in Nigeria to annually win two million souls
to Christ. So what we were doing yesterday was to win more souls to Christ for
it is our mission. You can’t talk about God without talking about love and
orphans are part of us and like us they are made in the image of God.” Muma
explained that the beneficiaries were made up of orphans, abandoned children
and widows. “We are going to be more consistent in our visitations from now on”
Muma George further explained.
Muma George further said this was the end of the
year and that OFM had another event to reach out to the needy in the pipeline.
It was the only way he said to show gratitude “for what God had done for us
this year. We have to reach out to the needy in another event at the end of the
year.”

Maimo Rose, one of the Executive Committee Members
of the Women’s wing on her part said one of the missions of this commission was
restoration and that life could be restored by touching the lives of the needy
adding that it was one of the reason that pushed them to “go out in winning
nations, go out to the orphans who are found among the needy. We went there to
encourage them and to show love and this is better shown when you meet with
those who think that they are less privileged. You must not have much to share
with others. No matter how small it is, it can always be shared.”
