God is at work as our brothers/sisters in Yaoundé, Cameroon, prepare to build the permanent home for the African Counseling Center (ACC).
Rev Patrick Friday makes third visit to ACC
Accompanied by Rev Nkemba Ndjungu, UMC Mission Superintendent in Cameroon, and the Women Project Officer, Rev Friday met with Samuel Lindjeck the ACC Clinical and Program Director, Marie Meyong ACC General Treasurer and members of the staff to discuss the planned ACC head office building.
Resolutions after discussion included:
- The building project will be scheduled for one year.
- Rev Nkemba Ndjungu, UMC Mission Superintendent in Cameroon, will be a local supervisor of the project.
- The money will be disbursed in five sums of $20,000.
- The first step is the purchase and the certification of land.
- The Board, the staff, and the civil engineer have to plan other steps, and reevaluate the cost of the project (as the initial one has been evaluated in 2007).
All the ACC Board and Staff are grateful to our Companions in Hope, Trinity UMC Richmond, and the Advance office.
