THE CONCEPT AND GENESIS OF THE CAMEROON NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION “Dissatisfaction is a great starting point, for it is right there that we have most power, strength, and energy to push change through” (David Denotaris). “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible” (St. Francis of Assisi). A dream can only be termed “impossible” when it is not yet started. The CNBC is a dream come true; a convention that started in 1996 as a result of a desire to see the work of God move on without any grievances and competition or hatred for fellow brothers (CBC). It resembles the same episode put up in Acts 15:36-41by Paul and Barnabas; Paul was of the opinion that they should go back and visit the churches that they have preached to so as to ensure they are faring well in the faith. They disagreed, separated and the gospel increased.  Disagreements are sometimes bad but not as many people will see?  Let us look at the origin of Cameroon National BAPTIST CONVENTION (CNBC).

The Cameroon National Baptist Convention (CNBC) was birthed in 1997 after the famous Anyajua Declaration. A majority of the churches in Belo Field decided to go separate ways from the Cameroon Baptist Convention because of dissatisfaction and growing animosity over the years. They realized that most of the time was spent addressing these issues rather than carrying out The Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. Matters came into a head in 1997, and all attempts to bring things to normalcy were futile. This resulted in the Anyajua Declaration.

Despite overwhelming challenges over the years, the CNBC has spread its tentacles out of the North West Region of Cameroon to the South West, West, Littoral and Central Regions of Cameroon.

 The Cameroon National Baptist convention continues to maintain friendly ties and collaboration with the Cameroon Baptist Convention and other like minded Christian Fellowships in Cameroon.
