Thanks for your concern.
The parish of Ngoyla lacks a safe and welcoming environment for the resident priest and for his parishioners when they need to come together.
They have an critically-important building project which includes a meeting-place for the church and a the parsonage.
This was proposed by the Priest of the Parish, Father Tarcisius Mpa, who can be contacted at peretarcisiusmpa@yahoo.fr. The Bishop in Doume-Abong Mbang, Jan Ozga, has approved it and authorizes this funding project. For more on this worthy project, see my post here.
If you are ready to help, a donation can be sent to the Reverend MPA through the Bishop.

Do you want to help? Does your church look like this?

Here's a building project to help the Parish of Ngoyla!
The Roman Catholic priest of Ngoyla, Reverend Mpa Tarcicius, has received the full support of his bishop in Abong Mbang and Doume, and together they are asking all who are interested to consider helping him accomplish the task of building the chapel and the parsonage. These are very important if he is to reach out to the Njyem people.

















The chapel, shown above, is in seriously deteriorated condition.

















The parsonage, shown above, is done in the local manner. These houses are not of a standard that is durable or that provides real protection against insects, rodents and bats.

Why cannot the Njyem manage their own parish in Ngoyla with their own funds? Part of the answer to this question lies in the fact that they are virtually surrounded by a forest and wildlife preserve. Economic activity is severely reduced in such a place. Normally, that would include logging and trapping. A palliative proposed by some of the conservationists is "eco-tourism", but it turns out that there are very few westerners spending their vacations in the tropical rainforest of Ngoyla. It means in part that the people are really forced into a much lower standard of living.
Anyone wanting to help can contact me for details as to progress in fund-raising. My email is beavonkeith@yahoo.com. You may also pass on this information to others for their prayerful attention.
