For years, the local Church in northwest Cameroon has provided vital support to communities ravaged by violent conflict. But it’s an uphill struggle. Throughout the ongoing violence teachers have been attacked, students kidnapped, and schools forced to close.
It takes all of us, together, to create hope in situations of great fear.
Fr Léon, a Mill Hill Missionary in Fundong, works tirelessly through initiatives like the Holy Angels Youth Choir and a young adults’ farming project. He helps construct rural classrooms, develop educational programmes, and so brings children into the heart of the parish community – helping to keep them safe from the violence and dangers which would otherwise overtake them.
This Christmas, we can help Fr Léon, and so many more missionaries like him, as they care for our sisters and brothers in troubled regions. Your prayers and donations offer encouragement and create safe spaces for displaced children to learn, grow in faith, and choose paths of peace.
Voices of hope
We are so happy and inspired to hear the voices of the wonderful Holy Angels Youth Choir! This special Advent hymn, written for Missio by Claud Fullwood, has been arranged by Fr Léon for his choir to perform.
If you would like to support Fr Léon and these inspiring young people, along with many other missionaries and struggling faith communities throughout the world, please consider giving a gift to our Christmas Appeal today.
Four simple ways you can support mission
- Give: please consider making a special Christmas gift to support children in Cameroon and other countries, where there is a great need for the Gospel to be shared with struggling communities.
- Pray: Please keep Fr Léon, and many other dedicated missionaries like him, in your prayers. Your prayers keep them strong as they continue to care for all God’s children in some of the world’s poorest and most troubled locations.
- Fundraise: Lots of little actions can make one big change! Could you join together with your family, friends or community to fundraise for Missio? From bake sales to sponsored events, giving your time to raise money is an incredible gift to children around the world, and the missionaries making a vital difference to their lives.
