VIENT DE PARAÎTRE!

Disponible sur amazon en version kindle et papier:

Ce livre est un véritable manuel de formation à l’intention de tout chrétien soucieux d’articuler engagement de foi et initiative économique. Il met en évidence que l’entrepreneuriat chrétien, loin de se réduire à la recherche du profit, se conçoit comme un outil d’édification communautaire, un témoignage vivant de l’Évangile dans le monde des affaires et une réponse concrète au mandat de gestion de la Création confié à l’être humain. Un appel vibrant est lancé aux jeunes et aux Églises afin qu’ils s’engagent résolument dans la promotion d’une culture entrepreneuriale éthique, alliant foi, savoir-faire et innovation.

Abstract

Since 2014, the Far North Region of Cameroon has experienced regular attacks from Boko Haram and, more recently, the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP). These attacks have affected followers of all three major religions in the region, but Christians have been hit the hardest. Many have been forced to abandon their churches, villages, farms, and businesses and seek refuge in Mokolo, where they feel safe. While nonprofits and churches have quickly provided urgent needs like food, medical assistance, and shelter, many other crucial needs are often overlooked. This study dives deeply into the Mayo Tsanaga division victims’ needs, offering insights into a holistic and sustainable approach to relief and aid. The article also highlights the importance of critical strategic preventive measures in at-risk villages and cities.
