Pastor / Judge Jean Marie Tchoualeu: Director of Evangelism (Former Union Conference President from 2000 to 2005)
Pastor Tchoualeu is a minister of the gospel in his native country of Cameroon. He formerly worked as a lawyer, magistrate and judge in the capital, Yaoundé, from 1977 to 1988. In 1987 he accepted JESUS CHRIST as his Saviour and Lord and was baptized in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. In 1988, while still a judge in the Court of Appeal, he took a leave of absence to study theology at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, where he earned a Masters degree in Pastoral Ministry.
He subsequently received a call from the Central African Union Mission based in Cameroon to serve as Pastor, Evangelist and Head of the legal department.
While working for the Union, he conducted many evangelistical campaigns all over Cameroon, and in the other countries of the Union as well. From these efforts two churches were established: one in Bafoussam, the main city of West Cameroon in the Bamileke region, and the other in the capital, Yaoundé.
In 1995 he was elected as the Union Secretary and in 2000 he became the Union President. In 2005, he asked to be reassigned as a Pastor in the West Cameroon in order to contribute to the development of the Bamiléké region, his native land where the Adventist message is the most under-developed in Cameroon. He was then appointed as the President of that region, where he is struggling with eight dedicated Ministers working with him, to growp the work over there.
Through the dedicated efforts of Pastor Tchoualeu and his team, great things are already happening, but we strongly believe that with the helping hand of Bantu Hope Ministries, more miracles will occur to the glory of God.
