The Cameroun Presbyterian Mission was established about 1880. This is a collection of periodicals printed at the press in Elat, written by missionaries and their wives, with some issues having content from African ministers as well. The editors change over the years, but the purpose remains the same: to keep in touch with American Presbyterian supporters who will back the work through prayer and donations.
The group has many vivid presentations of the "native" way of life, their religious beliefs, spiritualism, medicine men, totems, the fear of the dead and demons, with conversion stories and hopeful signs of Christian faith. The activities of the missionaries are usually specific, and many persons are named throughout.
