Place of Ministry: Yaounde, Cameroon
Sending Agency: Encompass World Partners 
 

Our Missionary Partner: Jason and Christy left Lexington, OH with the kids to go to Africa.  God called them to Yaounde, Cameroon to equip African leaders to shepherd the local churches in Chad, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic.  Encompass World Partners directs their endeavors.   

Carmean family packed for Africa

God called them to develop fully devoted followers of Christ in Cameroon, Africa.  Grace Church is part of a coalition of churches who support and provide resources and guidance for the Carmean ministry. 

Their Mission: Jason expresses their passion--we want to train pastors and lay leaders in Cameroon to lead their churches towards all that God wants for each church family. Jason asks us to pray for the partnership of US churches and African churches to work together for the glory of God.

If you want updates, then please LIKE their Facebook page.  You can discover the stories of the Africans that they are training.  You can see their faces, pray for each family, and know that when you give to Grace Church, part of your gifts go to support the ministry of the Carmean family.

How to Be Involved

PRAY: Pray for Jason as he pursues the development of the leadership training program for pastors. Ask God to give Jason strength in the Lord to develop fully devoted followers of Christ in Cameroon.  Ask the Lord to encourage the family to be encouraged and to get rid of discouragement and negative thoughts when they feel lonely, separated from family in Ohio, and physically wore out from the hard life in Yaounde.
