Pastor Eugene is from
the village of Bamessing, located in the North West Region of Cameroon. From
early on it was evident that God had given him a gift in the area of art and
design. In 1998, a mission team from America went door to door through his village
handing out tracts and sharing the Gospel with many residents. A small, weekly
Bible study was started and Mfunynwi Eugene soon trusted Christ as his Savior.
In 2004, Eugene
married his lovely wife, Mirabel, and they moved to the city of Bamenda. The
next year, the Bible study that eventually became the Faith Baptist Church of
Bamenda was started (by some of the same missionaries who originally took the
Gospel to Bamessing on that 1998 mission trip). Eugene and his wife began
attending the church, and the Word of God impacted their home. Through the
faithful preaching of the Bible, Eugene surrendered to God’s call to serve the
Lord as a full time minister of the Gospel.
He and his growing family packed up and began their move to
the village of Sabga in order to attend the Fundamental Bible Institute of
Cameroon. At this juncture, Brother Eugene was confronted with a humongous test
of faith and resolve. The Delegate of Culture in Cameroon called Eugene and
excitedly told him that he had been selected as one of the handful of
Cameroonian artists who were to create an art exhibition of Cameroon art and
that these artists were to travel the world showing their talents and
representing the culture and talents of the Cameroon people. This prestigious offer
could have led to a long and lucrative career, however, God’s call was clear to
Eugene and his wife, and the turned down the offer and spent the next 4 years training
and serving until
graduation from the institute in 2011.
After graduation,
Eugene felt the Lord’s leading to return to the Faith Baptist Church in Bamenda. His family ministered and completed a one year internship, and was then ordained in 2013. Presently, Pastor Eugene is the director of the Faith Bible Institute (a
local church institute of FBC), and is faithfully ministering in the village of Akum where he desires to establish the Living Water Baptist Church by the grace and power of God.
Since Pastor Eugene is not fully supported by Faith Baptist
Church, and has not yet established an autonomous local church, he has been using his
talent as an artist to help provide for his family. This online studio has been set up to showcase some of Eugene’s
abilities and inventory. Would you consider supporting the family and ministry of
