The Kees in Cameroon

Paul & Janet Kee

W. Paul and Janet M. Kee are the only missionaries for the Church of Christ living in Cameroon. They have been working there full-time since 1976.

Paul spent 3 years in Cameroon before that, starting in 1967 with his parents, and including 4 summers as an apprentice in the 1970s. The Kees raised their children, Malena and Ryan, in Cameroon and home-schooled them through high school.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Wow! What a long time between Newsletters! Greetings from Cameroon, the Churches in Bui Division, and from us, Paul and Janet Kee. We have had our computer problems, work problems, and the hardest year of our lives, but we are still together and still plugging! Lots of work has been accomplished, and we are looking forward to seeing you in the next year, after a 38-month tour. Church of Christ, Cameroon

FEBRUARY (2011) During Youth Week (lOth- 15th) I went with some brothers to Abachi, to the north in Donga!Mantung Division. One of our students is from there, and there are several congregations in the area. Janet and Kiven flew in by helicopter, and Janet loved it! I had planned for over 23 years to get her there, but not on land. It was certainly a freedom from back worries she had never had before, and she plans to do it more, as we raise funds for it. She gave out eyeglasses in 2 villages, and taught the ladies of both congregations. It was a great success and a boon for the Church in that area.

MARCH We had the end-of-year ceremony at the Kumbo Christian Bible School, Nso' and the program went well, although sparsely attended. We really don't put on a big push for invitees until our regular graduation, every three years. The students who had been struggling all managed to pass the second term, so we were happy and expected all of them to return for school in September. The only exception was Njah Alfred Njinyoh, an Advanced Graduate who had owed one term for 13 years!

By the end of March, we had a baptism at Semndzen, the first there to start a congregation. It was a good result to the preaching I had done there twice a week with Brothers Oliver Wirngo and Kiru Simon, who preached for me in December while we were inKevin Baptizing Veronica the States. What made it especially great was that the person we baptized was a sorcerer, Molu Julius, who repented by burning all ofhis items used in divining and witchcraft. Lots of people came to his baptism and he has been a strong Christian.

APRIL Later in the month we went to Douala, in an attempt to get my visa for Nigeria. I was to teach my weeklong course on "Church Leadership: With and Without Elders." Plus I was to participate in a Gospel lectureship/campaign at Baissa, plus visiting congregations in Taraba State (you can look it up!) I spent the first half of the month re-writing the course to fit into 6 days.
