Francophone Central Africa
Cameroon, Chad, the Central African Republic, Gabon, the Congos and Equatorial Guinea.
Francophone Central Africa spans the heart of the continent — from the Sahel’s southern edge in Chad and northern Cameroon to the Congo basin.
Indigenous mission in the Central African Republic
Rev. Anatole Banga, an earlier regional coordinator, led the first indigenous mission in the Central African Republic (the Jerusalem Foundation, 1990). In 1994 he launched Nations en Marche, targeting unreached groups in the CAR — including Pygmies, Fulani and Muslims — alongside young people and women in ministry, and a polytechnic missions training centre that has equipped missionaries from Chad, Togo, the DRC and the CAR.
Why it matters
Chad and Cameroon sit on the Sahel frontier named in the Abidjan Declaration. Persecution of believers in Cameroon, Chad and the DRC is one of the strategic realities the movement is responding to.
