Our Ministry

We began work among the Oroko in 1998. Worked on linguistics, literacy, and Bible translation until the Oroko New Testament (plus Genesis) was published in 2018. Due to the ongoing socio-political crisis in Cameroon, we moved to Yaoundé in 2018. The Oroko New Testament was dedicated in 2019. Since then, while still advising the Oroko as requested, we shifted our responsibilities to World Team leadership in Cameroon.

Now, Dan is serving as Area Director, and Lisa has just handed off the role of Field Director. As Africa Area opens a new field in Chad soon, we will be responsible to mentor and guide the young team of missionaries who hope to arrive there in 2026. WT Africa is also researching possible new work in Senegal.

Meanwhile, both of us are working towards being certified as Translation Consultants, and Lisa has begun checking Oral Bible Stories for Kwakum. We also look forward to being consultants for the Baka team as they begin formal translation work soon.

In addition, Dan is mentoring a few national Cameroonian missionaries, and Lisa is coordinating Coach Training for all of World Team. This and other responsibilities for WT Global mean a lot of Zoom meetings with missionaries around the world!
