Cameroon, often described as "Africa in miniature," boasts an extraordinary diversity of landscapes, cultures, and languages. This Central African nation features everything from rainforests to deserts, and its population is equally diverse, comprising various ethnic groups and languages. While Cameroon enjoys relative political stability compared to its neighbors, it faces challenges such as corruption, poverty, and regional conflicts, particularly the ongoing tensions in its Anglophone regions. Christianity is widespread, with a significant presence alongside indigenous beliefs and a growing Muslim population. This prayer guide is designed to help Christians pray effectively for their brothers and sisters in Cameroon and for the gospel to deeply impact this vibrant nation.
