Orphan Compassion
FPCB Mission to Cameroon

For current information regarding the Orphan Compassion Project please visit their website at: orphancompassion.com


Constance Tamon is a member of First Pres. Burlingame and currently serves as a Deacon.  After a trip home in April of 2006, she shared with our church the terrible plight of her people who are perishing from the HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. Some, who have perished, are her friends and family.  Many of the victims are not only stigmatized and shamed, but suffer a painful and needless death.   

For this reason 1st Pres. Burlingame is seeking a way to help out my little village called Acha-Tugi in Cameroon. During May of 2007, one of our pastors and a group of lay leaders will go to Cameroon to access the need of this small village and to explore how we, here at Burlingame, may best follow our Scriptural mandate, “TO CARE for widows and orphans in their distress.” Aids can devour communities, countries, and continents.  Africa, today, is a case in point.  Aids, is cruel to little ones, attacks and destroys one soul after another. HIV is shaking the fiber of family and society.  We are thankful that our church has arrived at a defining moment of action.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, Please direct and lead our church as we explore how best to help the victims of HIV/AIDS as well as the orphaned children in Acha Tugi and elsewhere as we seek to follow your Spirit.   Amen.
