The Cameroon Country Manager of Agroproduce Management Services, AMS Ltd, Pastor Etake Divine Ngaaje and wife, Mbole Ewanoge épse Etake Ngaaje, have donated a church building to The Apostolic Church Cameroon, TACC.
The handing over ceremony took place on March 1, 2025 in Bangem at the end of a five-day crusade at The Apostolic Church, Bangem District.
Speaking at the handing over ceremony, Etake recounted that the church building is the brainchild of the Sustainable Football for Jesus, a soccer competition organized in Bangem for the complete restoration of peace in the sub division.
He said the social services of AMS Ltd and his person from a spiritual background was unsatisfied after organizing three editions of the competition from 2021 to 2023, as they couldn’t end with a crusade for lack of a good venue. He said besides the restoration of peace, he wanted to use football to win souls for Christ.
Etake said since Bangem was already enjoying peace, the sustainable football achieved its objective, he halted, and asked God for the next assignment for Bangem.
He however lamented that many people doubted his identity. He said some described him as occultic and even his village people doubted the source of his blessings.
Etake said others interpreted his mission to Bangem as having political ambitions.
“Let me tell you that we are a product of the miracles of God. As a couple, we have experienced the hand of God in the Apostolic Church”. He revealed.
“The only reason we decided to come to Bangem was for the apostolic mission. If I enjoy the goodness and glory of God and my people don’t enjoy, then I am greedy”. He explained.
“One day with my wife, we agreed that the next stage of the Apostolic mission is to build a church where people can comfortably come for worship”. He disclosed.
Etake was happy that the vision was effectively coordinated and accomplished. He thanked all those who supervised to ensure that the project was effectively executed.
“We have nothing else to say. Today, my wife and I say this project has ended and we surrender this building to The Apostolic Church Cameroon”. Etake announced.
While receiving the documents of the newly constructed church edifice from the Etakes, the National Secretary General of TACC, Apostle Ekah Martin Ambe, on behalf of the national president, Apostle Dr. S.M. Mbote, thanked Etake and wife for bringing joy to Bangem community. He prophesied that the joy will return to them triple fold.
He also lauded the Senior Divisional Officer of Kupe Muanenguba, Mungambo Ekema William and entourage for sacrificing time to be at the ceremony.
Apostle Ambe promised that the church being at the heart of Bangem will not be a nuisance to the administration and to neighbours as well.
According to the SG, the Apostolic church Bangem will accompany the administration in fostering development. “This church will be praying for contractors in the division so that all projects are properly executed and delivered on time.
In his remarks, SDO Mungambo marveled that it was his first time to hear that a pastor builds a church and hands it to a church.
While thanking the Etakes for the wonderful gift to Bangem community, he prayed that the edifice be used for the intended purpose, which is bringing people to know God.
Also present at the ceremony was Rev. Evangelist Paul Tom Kamga, National Council Member, TACC, Joseph Pekwo Tancha, Group Supervisor, TACC, Bangem, Njume Raymond Njikang, Director of Communication, TACC, Rev. Mokube Dickson, of TACC Bangem District, Rev. Meduke Ernest, amongst others.
