In a quiet corner of Cameroon, the Gospel is taking deep root—not just in churches or crusades, but in schools, prisons, and villages—thanks to passionate leaders like Madame Mary Nkafu. 

A teacher by profession and a minister at heart, Madame Nkafu is a woman on a mission: to bring the truth of God's Word to those often forgotten by mainstream outreach. And at the centre of her ministry is a tool she calls "a true breakthrough": the Africa Study Bible. 

A Gift Shared Among Friends 

"I got to know about the Africa Study Bible through a friend—Madame Flora Njika," Mary says, beaming. "She had ordered some copies from overseas, and when they arrived in Cameroon, I received mine from her." 

It didn't take long for her to realize this wasn't just another Bible. 

"When I saw it, I was encouraged by the content—so rich and so relevant. I said to myself, 'I must go through this.' And I've been using it for almost two years now." 

Through their prison ministry partnership, Mary and Flora have also helped distribute French copies of the Africa Study Bible to pastors, expanding its impact in underserved areas. 

A Bible That Speaks to Africa—and for Africa 

Madame Nkafu has used many study Bibles over the years, but she says this one stands apart. 

"The Africa Study Bible is written in our African context, which really drew my attention. It's not a foreign book—it's our book. And what excites me even more is that someone who helped write it is a parent in my school!" 

This realization sparked a more profound conviction: 

"People used to say, 'The Bible is a white man's thing.' But now I can boldly say, 'This Bible was written by Africans, for Africans.' That gives me joy. That gives me confidence." 

Breaking Cultural Barriers with Biblical Clarity 

Mary's family background is rooted in traditional chieftain customs, making her early Christian walk filled with hard choices. She often struggled to know how to respond to cultural practices like naming ceremonies or ancestral beliefs. 

"I used to reject everything," she admits. "But I didn't always know if I was doing the right or wrong thing." 

The Africa Study Bible helped her find clarity. 

"It opened my eyes. It helped me understand which aspects of culture align with Scripture—and which don't. It gives wisdom for how to respond biblically, not just react." 

Where other Bibles left questions, the Africa Study Bible provided answers—with culturally grounded notes, relevant proverbs, and reflections that made the Word come alive in a Cameroonian context. 

A Dream to Go Deeper, to Go Wider 

Madame Nkafu's vision is bold and rooted in the Great Commission: to bring the Gospel to those who are farthest from its reach—not just geographically but socially and spiritually. 

"My desire is to go to the roots—to the mothers who don't understand, to the ones far away from the cities, far from the reach of social media. Many are confused by what they hear online or see on TV. They need the real truth." 

And what does she carry when she goes? 

"I carry my Africa Study Bible. They see the truth for themselves when I open it and read from it. It makes my work easier. It makes the truth clearer." 

One Bible. Many Lives. 

From city classrooms to remote villages, from prison ministries to personal discipleship, the Africa Study Bible is equipping African believers like Madame Nkafu to lead with boldness, wisdom, and cultural clarity. 

"This Bible helps me reach those who've been longing to hear the Word but have never had the chance."
