Cameroon has become a significant hub for religious movements, with pastors making profound impacts across the country. These pastors may not all claim to be the most powerful, but their influence, dedication, and innovative approaches to spreading the gospel have made them well-known names in Cameroonian households. Here, we look at some of the most influential pastors currently shaping the religious landscape in Cameroon. May God continue to bless them and inspire other pastors to bring positive change.

1. Apostle John Chi

Apostle John Chi, affectionately known as “Wise Man John Chi,” is the founder of the Ark of God Ministry, based in Buea, Cameroon. Formerly a disciple of the late Prophet TB Joshua, Apostle John Chi has become a prominent figure in Cameroon’s religious sphere, following in the footsteps of his spiritual father with unwavering devotion. His ministry has expanded significantly, boasting an impressive congregation of over 10,000 members. Known for his powerful teachings and influence, Apostle John Chi has built a ministry that has set a standard for others in Cameroon. His focus on community, charity, and spiritual growth has garnered him admiration and respect, earning him the top spot on this list of influential pastors.

2. Apostle Divine C. Okafor

In a short period, Apostle Divine C. Okafor has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing figures in the Cameroonian Christian community. As the founder and overseer of The Life Transformers Ministry, also in Buea, Apostle Divine has quickly made his mark on the religious landscape. At only 30 years old, his ministry has already achieved notable success, with a congregation exceeding 6,000 members. Despite his youth, Apostle Divine’s ministry is marked by a powerful message that resonates deeply with his followers, and his work has expanded to four branches across the region. Apostle Divine’s focus on transformation and empowerment has made him a notable figure to watch in Cameroon’s Christian scene.

3. Prophet Rodrigue Ndeffo

Prophet Rodrigue Ndeffo, leader of the Missionary Community of Revival, is another influential pastor whose impact extends well beyond Cameroon’s borders. With the headquarters of his church in Yaoundé, Prophet Ndeffo’s ministry has expanded internationally, with branches in Europe (including France, Italy, and Belgium), the United States, Canada, and other parts of Africa. Known for his dedication to spreading the message of Christ and lifting people out of affliction, his ministry has been active for over 15 years, drawing a diverse following. Prophet Rodrigue’s vision is centered on “taking away the mantles of afflictions on all nations” and bringing glory to the resurrected Christ. He is joined in ministry by his wife, Prophetess Elisabeth Ndeffo, who is a devoted leader committed to fostering a deeper connection with the Holy Spirit among Christians.

These pastors have made an indelible mark on the spiritual lives of many Cameroonians, inspiring others to work harder for positive change within the country. As Cameroon continues to experience this vibrant movement, we hope that these and other pastors will keep creating a lasting impact and advancing the gospel for generations to come.
