Project Leader:
Mr. Forzi George
The faithful community of St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish in the Diocese of Buea, in Cameroon need a place to worship, gather and pray. At the present time parishioners celebrate Mass under a trampoline. Currently, the heavy rains make it almost impossible to hold service. There are not enough benches for all to seat and the openness allows for wonderers and animals to disrupt. The goal of this project is to provide a safe structure to the 3,000 people of the Woya-Mavio Bomakak village who congregate under the trampoline to listen to the Gospel. Please help construct this parish which stands in a vehicle garage and is known as the “Trampoline Church.” A gift of $25 will help buy bibles.

As a Project Leader, this Community is made up by poor inhabitants’ majority are the Internally Displace People (IDPs) cause by the current War situation in Cameroon which Buea is the only safe place where this IDPs has escape the War and are sheltering themselves and offering prayers to God. The pray in this Church and are caught in poverty and cannot afford a daily meal. They are only depending from gifts from people and food donated by World Food Program and Medical provision by Doctors Without Borders. The situation is worse because they can go some days without food around this church community. They are unable to offer alms in the Church or donations to buy building materials for their Church construction because they cannot afford. When expose to the field to carry out income generating activities, they become insecure because shoulders hunter for civilians in this area to kill as protesters against the wishes of the state drainers policies of embezzlement of public funds. People are not safe in this community, they worship in shades which are expose to rains and are open to goats and stray animals made this open church a resting grown. They need a protected church building which they can luck it and open for church activities. The only place they can talk to God with some assurance of protection is in this church building. This project has delayed from our normal timing period owning to lack of funds. We are now cut-up with winter i.e tropical rains and we need to put all efforts to see that this building project is completed with the presbytery for the residents’ priests of the church. There our task of being God’s followers will be completed.
