Special Greetings from Our National Youth Coordinator, Rev. Simo Gabriel
Welcome to The Apostolic Church Cameroon National Youth Movement! We are excited to share our journey with you, a journey that began in 1985 with a small group of passionate youths in Kumba, guided by their district pastor. What started as a humble initiative has evolved into a vibrant movement that has significantly impacted our church and communities.
Historical Context
From its inception, the youth movement has been at the forefront of engaging young people in the work of God. Through various crusades and conferences, we have trained, equipped, and empowered our youth to take an active role in witnessing and evangelism. The movement has been instrumental in planting and revitalizing numerous churches, leading to a powerful wave of revival that has transformed lives and communities. As the youth embraced their calling, they became catalysts for explosive growth within the church. Today, many of the youths who participated in this movement have become prominent members of society, serving as vital elders and leaders within the church. We are committed to continuously ministering to young people at their level, equipping them to meet the challenges of their time.
