Features
Cameroon, situated on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, has a triangular-shaped territory and is home to a rich diversity of ethnic groups, including the Cameroon Highlanders, Equatorial Bantu, Kirdi, and Fulani.[1] While French and English are the country’s official languages, more than 270 indigenous languages are spoken. Douala, a major port city on the western coast, is the largest city in Cameroon and serves as a central hub for commerce and industry.[2]
Since its establishment, the Church of God in Douala has sought to foster unity in God’s truth and love among people of diverse cultures and languages. By practicing the Teachings of Mother—such as love, consideration, humility, and concession—the members strive to help individuals understand and respect one another. They also cherish the feasts of God[3] and work diligently to share the blessing of salvation. Through these efforts, they have established a branch church in Yaoundé, the capital city of Cameroon.
The Church of God in Douala actively carries out community-centered volunteer activities to promote social harmony and local development.[4] In particular, the church practices sharing life through ongoing blood drives. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, when blood donations declined sharply due to health concerns, members continued to participate while strictly observing preventive measures.[5] In addition, the church organizes regular cleanup campaigns on nearby streets and around Bonamoussadi Secondary School to help create and maintain a clean and healthy environment.[6] University student volunteer group ASEZ and young adult workers’ volunteer group ASEZ WAO also dedicate their free time to environmental protection efforts, including trash collection at locations such as the University of Douala. Through these activities, they raise awareness of environmental responsibility among students and local residents.[7]
Through consistent service and engagement, the Church of God in Douala serves as a positive role model in the community by promoting the importance of volunteerism and encouraging active citizen participation.
