Of Interest:
French Cameroon became independent in 1960 as the Republic of Cameroon. The following year the southern portion of neighboring British Cameroon voted to merge with the new country to form the Federal Republic of Cameroon. In 1972, a new constitution replaced the federation with a unitary state, the United Republic of Cameroon. The country has generally enjoyed stability, which has permitted the development of agriculture, roads, and railways, as well as a petroleum industry. Despite slow movement toward democratic reform, political power remains firmly in the hands of President Paul BIYA.

Joint Border Commission with Nigeria reviewed 2002 ICJ ruling on the entire boundary and bilaterally resolved differences, including June 2006 Greentree Agreement that immediately ceded sovereignty of the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon with a full phase-out of Nigerian control and patriation of residents in 2008; Cameroon and Nigeria agreed on maritime delimitation in March 2008; sovereignty dispute between Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon over an island at the mouth of the Ntem River; only Nigeria and Cameroon have heeded the Lake Chad Commission's admonition to ratify the delimitation treaty, which also includes the Chad-Niger and Niger-Nigeria boundaries

Office Staff

Robert Kamté

Office Manager

Manager History:

Brother Kamté was born on February 22, 1955, in Bameka, in the West part of Cameroon. His parents were Catholics, and he was baptized Catholic at three months old. He was a Pentecostal from 1973 to 1976 with the “God's Assembly.” He accepted the Message in 1975. The year after, he came out of the Pentecostals and the Lord called him to be a minister of the Gospel. In 1979, God established him as the pastor of a group of Christians; called today the “Church of Nkolmintag.” Since 2000, he is working for the Lord full-time as office manager for VGR Douala.

Short History of Office:
VGR established our first work in 1984-1985 when Brother Joseph sent a VGR representative to establish lending libraries in that country. They accepted the project with joy. Not long after that, the very first container arrived from VGR. Since then, the work has continued to grow.

The next step was establishing a VGR office, as well as a librarian who would put his heart into this work. They then chose the late Brother Samuel Moussi. Brother Moussi later went to be with the Lord, and Brother Kamté was chosen to be the new librarian of VGR in Douala.

The library was first located in the storehouse of a church. As the need for more material grew, we found the present location of the library. It's an apartment located on the second floor of a building, with a display on the first floor.

Sister Claudia Monsalve de Quian A few years after my husband became the VGR distributor for Chile, it was clear that he would need some help at the office to take care of the telephone calls, writing of letters and some of the special orders that the office receives periodically. It has been my honor to be in charge of this for the past 8 years and serve the believers in my country.

My testimony is that this Message brought to me a special love for God's people and I feel part of this ministry serving the Bride of Christ.

The greatest joy and privilege I have is to be able to help in the process to distribute the Message brought by the Lord through His prophet, our dear Brother Branham. It is incredible for me to see that thousands of believers are receiving the Voice Of God in my country through our humble efforts. I am not worthy of this tremendous honor.

It is my desire to represent in a good manner the labour of love and efforts done by our brothers in the Headquarters in Jeffersonville. Please pray for us as we pray for you all.

God bless you!

Office History

After having a library in Santiago, the capital of Chile, for 10 years, a full time VGR office opened its doors for the believers in Chile in 2001. The office was located in the city of Penco, 300 miles south of the capital (a small town by the ocean) and started distributing the material that came periodically from the Headquarters in Jeffersonville.

It was in February 27, 2010 that the area where the office is located, suffered with one of the strongest earthquakes recorded in history; a 8.8 magnitude that devastated the southern regions of Chile with the land shaking and a devastating set of tsunamis that came a few minutes after this event. As a result of this disaster, the VGR Office suffered substantial damage and it had to close its doors momentarily.

Since that time, the distribution of the material in Chile has been made from the residence of the distributor and his house has served as an office for the daily work of translation, proofing and distribution work. Efforts have been made to locate a suitable place for a VGR office but we are still searching for this. We ask for your prayers so we can soon have this so important and basic tool to serve the part of the Bride of Christ in this far corner of the world.
