Cameroon
Terry Riddick & Rusty Riddick families

The missionaries visited a local church where the pastor is interested in affiliating with the UPC. After ministering in the service, the missionary taught the pastor's family a bible study about baptism in Jesus' name. The pastor said, "I am 65 years old and have been a pastor for many years, but I truly have received a revelation today." This pastor is the head of a small organization that has eight more churches and pastors. He would like to affiliate all the churches with the UPC. The missionary will soon be preaching the organization convention, and the missionary's wife will be teaching the ladies.

The missionaries have also been asked to minister in another small organization of four churches in a different area of the country. This area has no UPC. These churches also want to affiliate with the UPC.
