Africa Tabernacle Evangelism


Africa Tabernacle Evangelism is a practical approach to new church evangelism and church construction.  Because of the awesome growth of the African church, there are needs for additional places of worship.  The construction of free-standing steel structures is facilitating the goal of establishing local churches throughout the country.

For an investment of $6,000, a tabernacle can be erected for a house of worship in a city or village in Cameroon.  Soon after the local church continues the construction of the tabernacle by adding the walls, floor, etc. with their labor and materials, as their funds allow.  In the end, the Cameroonian church investment is as much as the donors, thus making it truly a partnership.

Significant growth is still occurring in Africa at present.  And many local congregations are waiting for a new place of worship.  All we lack is sufficient funding to help them.  We need you to partner with us in helping our brothers and sisters in Cameroon evangelize their country!

Completed Tabernacle in Mbalmayo


New tabernacle in Odza.  It is the size of two tabernacles and will house 400 worshipers.  The trusses were made in our factory in Mbalmayo.

 New Tabernacle at Tiko. 

Welder and technician John Woodruff (left) set up our truss factory which has allowed us to reduce the price of the tabernacles significantly.  Instead of importing trusses, we now build them locally at our Mbalmayo shop.
