Editorial A warm welcome to all our Friends of Mill Hill in Cameroon. As you are already aware, the General Council of the Mill Hill Missionaries appointed Fr Anthony Ndang Ndichia mhm as the Vocations Director, Coordinator of Mission Experience Program (MEP) and Coordinator of Friends of Mill Hill Cameroon. Fr Anthony is from Njinikom, ordained at St Anthony’s Parish Njinikom in 2012. After six years of Mission in South Africa, he has returned to Cameroon to take up this vital task in the Society. Although, I have arrived at a very wrong time in the history of our region, the hope, energy, vision and enthusiasm of the people of God continues to inspire me to feel comfortable at home. In the middle of gun shots, burning of houses, looting, torture, rape and killings, our people have resolved to daily prayer, adoration and hopeful of a speedy solution to the crisis that has fast degenerated into a looming genocide. In a special way, I will like to thank all those who contributed to the early beginnings of Friends of Mill Hill in Cameroon: Fr Bill Tollan mhm, Fr Andrew Mukulu mhm, Fr Nol Verhoeven mhm, Fr Richard Njoroge mhm and Fr Elvis Berka Shudzeka mhm. Over the years, our Friends of Mill Hill have seen significant changes: registration of new members, regular meetings, prayers for missionaries, attendance of Mill Hill ordinations and celebrations, contributions through the red boxes and much more. As we draw closer to the end of the year, the Executive Committee of Friends of Mill Hill together with the Director shall take stock of activities and continue to build, establish and promote Friends of Mill Hill. It is the dream of everyone, to realise that where all our missionaries worked or where our Cameroonian missionaries

come from today, have the presence of Friends of Mill Hill in these respective parishes. This will be a true sign of missionary witness which Pope Francis invites us: “Every man and woman is a mission; that is the reason for our life.”

I wish you a happy Christmas and a prosperous new year 2019. Rev Fr. Anthony Ndang Ndichia mhm Coordinator Friends of Mill Hill Cameroon.
