Jim is the coordinator of the Cameroon work. He makes three trips annually to Cameroon. In February he conducts a Leadership Training Seminar for both the French and English brethren. These seminars began in 1999 and have had a great impact on both the leaders and members of the churches. Several hundred church leaders are trained each year. Jim is accompanied by one brother and one sister from the U.S. to assist in the seminars. Jim’s focus in each seminar is helping brethren see more clearly how Jesus lived and thus give encouragement in following Christ’s example. The second brother stresses an area of leadership to the men. The American sister teaches Cameroon women how they may better be of service in the church. The women’s focus in recent years has been to build up the Sunday School program for children. 5 sets of Bible curriculum have been written for children’s Bible classes. In addition, 10 Cameroonian sisters have been trained to go out and conduct seminars for village churches.
In June of each year, Jim leads a team of Americans on an evangelistic campaign that targets the French side of the country. In the middle of October, he travels to the North Province and conducts a leadership seminar and an evangelistic campaign. These seminars are reaching hundreds of church leaders. Jim has made more than 50 trips. He and those traveling with him have taught more than 6,000 people, with over 2.400 of those surrendering their lives to the Lord.
