The Fomum Family, Bro Joe Mbafor and the board of Elders in Yaounde announce with deep regrets the sudden departure of our Beloved Father and Spiritual Leader Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Saturday 14th March 2009 at CHU Yaounde at 4pm.

We give all the glory and honour and praise and thanksgiving to the Lord Jesus Christ whom Brother Zach served wholeheartedly. This Home-going of our beloved Brother comes just after the overthrow of satanics princes he was wrestling against.

Brother Zach has fought the good fight of faith right to the very end. He has finished his course. He has won the race.

We who loved him must demonstrate it now by pursuing his vision, pressing on with the goal so that at the sound of the trumpet there will be one billion disciples in 250 nations, in six continents who rendered total obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Joseph T. Mbafor

On behalf of the Fomum Family and the board of Elders Yaounde.
