With gunfire and skirmishes almost a daily occurrence in the north-west of Cameroon, Benjamin is one of the increasing number of young men following the call to priesthood. Since 2016, Cameroon has faced internal struggles between Anglophone (English-speaking) and Francophone (French-speaking) communities. With government intervention only escalating the situation, thousands of innocent men, women and children have been killed or injured, and many families have been left homeless as their entire village burn down. Seeing the despair and pain of his community, Benjamin knew he could combine his desire to help with his faith – but the increasing cost of basic needs such as food, medicine and study materials is prohibitive. Your gift today can help the seminary continue to provide spiritual formation and practical needs for the future leaders of the Church in Cameroon.
“We hear [gun] shots every day – it is very troubling, traumatic actually. We have to transform this situation. I know I have something to contribute. I just want to do something simple, to be of service.” - Benjamin
