CAMEROON MISSION WORK:

•        The ultimate goal of this mission is to help develop strong congregations in Cameroon that are fully capable of supporting their own work in the future. This is a goal that will not be realized quickly and your partnership is of immense importance to achieve this goal.

•        Cameroon is a country of about 20 million inhabitants with approximately 150 congregations of the Lord’s Church, ranging from 7 members to 120 members in attendance respectively. This membership is in diverse ages: elderly, teens and all ages in between. Our mission is that of Evangelizing, Edifying and equipping the saints in the country of Cameroon. We need many co-workers for this to be done.

 

                                       OUR MISSION GOAL IN CAMEROON:

 

•        Planting and developing of indigenous Churches.

•        To support national church planting and development, that will support the Cameroon Institute of Biblical Studies (CIBS) in future.

•        To train Christians to a state of maturity in Christ, so as to serve the Lord well in their respective congregations.

•        To train and motivate faithful men and women to teach others.

•        To encourage our students upon graduation to go and serve existing churches in Cameroon.

•        To inculcate the fear of God into the lives of all young and old so that they may grow to love, fear and respect Him. With this foundation, these young boys and girls will in turn grow in faith and serve their respective congregations anywhere they may go.

•        The CIBS is to take leadership of this work as it will produce the human resources and know how that is needed to accomplish the goal.

Prince Otobong (o̅ˊ- to̅ - bŏng)  Ituen (ēˊ - twin): 

         

          Prince was born in Ikot Usen town, Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria.  Ikot Usen is the location of the first Church of Christ in Nigeria, established after WW II.

He received his Bible training at the school of preaching, Nigerian Christian Institute in Uyo, Nigeria, where he obtained his Diploma in ministerial studies and diploma in Mass communication.

 

While at NCI he met a pretty co-ed named Margaret Ohiani, who was getting her ministerial diploma, and they shared the dream of serving as missionaries. 

 

After graduation in 1998 he was employed at NCI as the personal assistant on Public Relations activities to the president of the institution.

 

While in that position Roger and Andrea, who were working at Nigerian Christian Bible College in Nigeria at the time, met and learned to appreciate Prince for his work and his dedication to the Lord.

 

In 2003 Prince left his home and family and went to preach for the Sonac Street Church of Christ in Bamenda, NW Region Cameroon. 

 

In 2005 he returned home to collect the love of his life, and bring her with him to Cameroon.

 

They have four children; two boys, Gershom, Gene Jr; and twin girls, Mercy and Mary

.

 

With Prince’s background at NCI, and having seen the impact Christian Education had on Nigeria, he understood the need for good preaching schools in Cameroon.

 

 Bro Prince, now the Director of the Cameroon Institute of Biblical Studies, is seeking for your support for the school and those with passion for soul winning for partnership.

 

Beloved in Christ and friends,

I bring you greetings from Bamenda. Thanks a million for your prayers
and partnership during the just concluded 1st graduation and prize
giving ceremony of the Cameroon Institute of Biblical Studies, Batibo,
North West Region, Cameroon. We graduated 9 students and gave a
lifetime legacy award to 8 brethren in recognition of their
contributions to the propagation of the gospel of Christ and promotion
of Christian Education in Cameroon and their partnership with the CIBS
for the training of able spokesmen for the Master.

This event which kicked off with lineup activities such as New Life
Behavior seminar on the 2nd through 4th of June, a two days scholastic
Bible lectureship on the books of 1st and 2nd Timothy on the 5th to
6th June and the CIBS 1st batch of students graduation on the 7th June
2014 respectively, witnessed a huge success to the glory of God.

Participants from within Cameroon and abroad were in attendance. Once
again, thank you for your unflinching support, prayers and partnership
as we continue to strive ahead in this ministry of seeking and winning
souls for Christ. God bless you in your endeavor.

 

In our record' within the three years of CIBS existence, 296 souls were baptized and 78 restored to the body of Christ in their respective locations. To God be the glory.



 Your brother and friend,

Prince O. Ituen
CIBS Director,
P.O. Box 73, Batibo,
North West Region, Cameroon.
