Motto: Holiness Unto the Lord. (Zachariah 14:20)
Special Greetings from Our National Women Coordinator, Mrs. Luma Mary Nji.
Welcome to The Apostolic Church Cameroon Women Movement! This dynamic and vibrant segment of our church is dedicated to harnessing the power of women to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ across various communities. We believe that the strength and faith of our women are vital to the mission of our church.
Historical Context
The Apostolic Church Cameroon Women Movement has its roots dating back to the inception of our church in 1965. It was during this year that the first Missionary Superintendent, Pastor Otto Tanner, arrived in Cameroon with a vision to continue the work of the Gospel. Since then, the movement has flourished, growing stronger with each passing day. These efforts were later amplified by Late Ma Susan Ashu who’s work within the women’s department have expanded significantly, leading to the establishment of modern facilities designed to support various activities. These include sewing, decoration, and initiatives aimed at financially empowering our women. This growth reflects our commitment to not only spiritual development but also practical skills that can enhance the lives of our members. We encourage all women within The Apostolic Church Cameroon to join this movement. Together, we can advance the work of God and make a lasting impact in our communities.
