The Rt. Rev. Fonki Samuel Forba,re-elected moderator of the  Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC) and Chief Shepherd of this Christian organization, has urged the over one million Presbyterians in Cameroon  to  wake-up and lead in the building of a new Cameroon, which should be  characterized by peace, unity, love, and social justice.

Rt. Rev Fonki   made the appeal in a thought-provoking sermon, Sunday March 15, during a thanks-giving service and the induction of the new PCC Synod Clerk, Rev Miki Hans Abia, which took place at the PCSS Buea field, attended among other dignitaries by Southwest Governor Bernard Okalia Bilai , Senator Mbella Moki and Balungeli  Ebune Confiance,Director of Cabinet at  PM’s  Office .

In his sermon, titled “Wake-up, Watch-out”, which drew inspiration from Revelation3:1-6, the Rt. Rev. Fonki, challenged Christians in particular and Cameroonians as a whole, to continue to do only what is morally and legally right in eyes of God.

“Presbyterians must wake up and contribute in building a new Cameroon, to become a land of peace and plenty,” he appealed, noting that Cameroon is a crossroad with several crises.

“Do you want a prosperous Cameroon?” he asked in his sermon and the congregation shouted “yes.” He thundered: “Then, Wake-up!”

“ As  [Christians] we should do the right things with the right motives;We should not play to the gallery; It is time to wake up ;If you were doing good, don’t drop it simply because everybody is doing the wrong thing..The moderator said “I believe here is still hope for Cameroon” in the midst of crisis.

 He urged Christians to wake up and strengthen what is about to die, shun all vices because when “you look up to God, His spirit dwells in you”

Rt Rev.Fonki was reelected, last November, by  the Synod of “Peace and Unity” of PCC as Moderator for a five-year tenure  and  Rev.Miki was elected the new Synod Clerk for a five-year mandate, to replace Babila George Fochang who served one mandate. 

Rev.Miki before his election as Synod Clerk was Parish Pastor of PC Bonamoussadi and Secretary of the East Mungo South Presbytery. 

Retired PCC Moderator, the Very Rev.Nyansako-ni-Nku, said prayers thanking God for the reelection Rt Rev.Fonki as Chief Shepherd of the PCC   and  the entire congregation joined the moderator and wife Rev.Mrs.Fonki  Perpetua  to give their offerings to God.

The PCC Moderator, who had been inducted at the beginning of his first mandate, inducted and instituted the new Synod clerk Rev.Miki as the Congregation cheered.
