Community Institute for Youth Development
COMMUNITY INSTITUTE FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT is a registered Non Profit Organisation and it is with association with four Orphanages. We are a group of Evangelical Students who are driven by the love that Christ has shown us by giving His life as a ransom for our sins. We try to give on this gift of love to those who so greatly need it and yet lack it completely. The rejected, deserted, mis-used and abused orphans in the World, Africa and Cameroon in particular.
We are mostly Cameroonian nationals, professionals in education.We have found that to helpping these Cameroonian orphans and underpriviledged decided we best set up a home where we can give them all they need; love, care, shelter food and education. While we do this, we take the opportunity to pray with them and introduce them to the One who can help them heal their broken heart! This is the Only One who can truly heal the heart: Jesus. In the process we have actually build a comprehensive Children's Village with:
Cameroon
- To get abandoned and parentless children out of the slums of
Cameroon, Africa and in to "Child of Destiny".
- To provide a safe environment for the children to grow and
thrive in.

church, food and clothing.
- To promote Literacy in Cameroon and Africa as a whole

whole.
- To improve on the health of the children

The Lord Jesus christ.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. We believe in His substitutionary death for all men, His resurrection, and His eventual return to judge the world. We have come together as the family of God in our fathers presence to offer him praise and thanksgiving, to hear and recieve his holy word,to ask his forgiveness of our sins and to seek his grace , through his son jesus christ,we may give our selves to his service.
Salvation. We believe all men are born with a sinful nature and that the work of the Cross was to redeem man from the power of sin. We believe that salvation is available to all who will receive it. Almighty God ,to whom all hearts are upon, all desires known and from whom no secrets are hidden, cleanse the thought of our hearts by the inspiration of the holy spirit , that we may perfectly love you,and worthily magnify your name.
The Holy Spirit .
We believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity and in His interaction with man. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as manifested by the fruit and gifts of the Spirit ie speaking in toungues. ....... God is spirit and all that worship in spirit and in truth for the father seeks such..John 4:24
The Sacred Scripture.
We believe in the scripture as the inspired Word of God and that it is the complete revelation of God's will for mankind. We believe in the absolute authority of the scripture to govern the affairs of men.
The Trinity.
We believe in God the father, the son and the Holy Spirit and all making one God
Stewardship.
We believe that every man is the steward of his life and resources, which ultimately belong to God. We believe that giving the tithe and offerings is a measure of obedience to the scriptural principles of stewardship.
The Church.
We believe in the Church as the eternal and universal Body of Christ consisting of all those who have accepted the work of the atonement. We believe in the need for a local assembly of believers for the purposes of evangelization and edification.
Prayer And Praise.
We believe in the worship of the Lord through singing, clapping, and the lifting of hands. We believe in the authority of the believer to ask freely of the Lord for his needs. prayer of confession- Almighty God our heavenly father, we have sinned aganist you and aganist our fellow men,inthought and word and deed,through our own negligence,through weakness,through our own delibarate fault.we are truely sorry and repent of all our sins .for the sake of all that is past ,grant that we may serve you in newness of life,to the glory of your name.Amen
Church Body Ministry.
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the Church body through the anointing of oil by the elders of the church.
Evangelism.
We believe that evangelism is the obligation of every follower of Jesus Christ. The Lord commands us to go out and make disciples in all of the Earth. We believe that each person is first responsible to evangelism in their own family as the Holy Spirit leads them and gives them the ability.
Water Baptism.
We believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion in obedience to the Word of God. All those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior should be baptized in water as a public profession of their faith in Christ and to experience what the Bible calls the "circumcision of the Spirit". Baptisms are conducted each Sunday in the evening service.
