How To Give To Regions In Need . . .

Thank you for considering a donation to Regions In Need!

Currently, there are two ways to give financially to our ministry.

You can give online through Central Missionary Clearinghouse (CMC) by going to their website at cmcmissions.org and following the giving instructions on the DONATE page. If you run into any problems making your donation online please call them at (281) 599-7411 or (1-800-262-7729) and someone will be glad to help you.

The other way to give is to send a check, made out to Central Missionary Clearinghouse, to:

Please write “For Mark & Nancy Waite” on a separate piece of paper, 3x5 card, or post-it note and include it with your check. You can also include what you want your gift to be used for (i.e. The Shekinah Glory Children’s Shelter; Mark’s Training Trips; etc.)

All gifts are tax-deductible.

Current Needs & Projects

Cameroon Ministry General Fund

We use our Cameroon Ministry General Fund to support and resource our five resident Bible Training Schools which are located in Yaounde, Bambili, Mamfe, Maroua, and Bafoussam. We also use these funds to support and resource our Mobile Bible Training Schools in cities and towns where we do not have a resident school nearby. Presently, we provide mobile training in Ngaoundere, Bertoua, Mora, and Douala. We also provide monthly support to the Shekinah Glory Children’s Shelter in Yaounde as well as financial gifts to Cameroon mission churches and pastors’ families in need. Finally, we try to provide financial relief to widows, refugees, and others experiencing great need as a means of adorning the gospel. If you’d like to give to this fund please use one of the giving methods above and designate your gift for the “Cameroon Ministry General Fund”. Thank you!

Training Trips

These funds provide us with the ability to make at least three trips each year to provide Bible, Theological, and Ministry training to under-trained pastors serving in challenging, hard-to-get-to, often-dangerous, and very needy areas of Cameroon. To help with the expenses for Mark’s training trips to Cameroon in 2025 which, includes his airfare to Cameroon, in-country travel and living expenses as well as funds to help pay for the travel expenses, food, lodging, and lesson materials for all the pastors who come to the training we need to raise at least $6000 for each trip or $18,000 for the year. Mark is planning on three trips in 2025 which will take him to Yaounde, Ngaoundere, Bertoua, Maroua, Mora, Garoua, and possibly the country of Chad where he will be teaching 1, 2 Peter and Jude. If you can help please give using one of the two methods above and designate your gift for “Mark’s Training Trips”. Thank you!

Guest Apartment—2025 Project

As Nancy and I approach becoming empty nesters, we desire to spend extended periods in Cameroon in the coming years to invest more fully in this ministry. Recognizing that our window of active service is growing shorter, we want to steward our remaining time and resources wisely by giving more concentrated time to training pastors, strengthening churches in Cameroon’s northern regions, expanding our training schools into all ten regions, and serving the orphanage as grandparents. If the Lord wills, spending more time on the ground will also allow us to reach unreached people groups in the North and lay the groundwork for expansion into Chad. To make longer stays feasible, we hope to build a two-bedroom apartment at the Shekinah Glory Children’s Shelter where we can live on extended stays. In addition, the apartment will provide a safe place for Nancy when I travel to less accessible areas while also allowing her to minister at the orphanage. The estimated cost for this project is $10,000, and when not in use by us, it will serve as housing for visiting individuals, couples, or mission teams. This will be our first major project of the year, enabling us to pursue greater gospel influence in Cameroon together. If you’d like to give toward this project please use one of the giving methods explained above and designate your gift for “Guest Apartment”. Thank you!

Shekinah Glory Children’s Shelter Medical & Educational Needs

Two of our twin babies, Alex and Hope, have Sickle Cell Anemia which has caused our medical expenses at the orphanage to soar. Currently, we need $160/month to cover their monthly medical expenses and care. If you’d like to help please designate your gift for “Alex & Hope’s Medical Expenses”. Thank you!

In addition, the school age children all go to a Christian school in Yaounde which is really the only choice if they are to receive an education at this point. The government schools only teach in French and these children speak their tribal language and English. Also, because they are orphans they are not treated like the other children. In addition, Martin and Colette want them to have a Christian education. If you’d like to give toward the children’s school expenses please designate your gift to “Orphans Education Expenses”.

And if there is anyone interested in going to the orphanage to help with tutoring the children in English, Reading, and Math please contact us. Thank you!

Bible Resource Print Shop

There is a great need in Cameroon for sound Bible study and theological resources which are translated into French and Fulfulde. Presently, we utilize local print shops in some of the bigger towns and cities in Cameroon to print our course notes and some study resources. But the cost of utilizing these shops to produce large amounts of sound Bible study materials, theology textsbooks, and other Christian books is prohibitive. With this in mind, we are raising funds to purchase printing and book binding equiptment to move to our school in Bambili where we will set up a print shop. Besides printing our own course materials and notes we have been granted permission by some publishers here in the US to translate their books into French and Fulfulfe, print, and distribute them in Cameroon to pastors and churches at no cost. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to provide this under-resourced country with Bible and theological resources. In addition, we will be able to continue printing the Bible in Fulfulde which we started in 2013 but were unable to continue due to the high cost of printing such a large book.

We need to raise $3000 for the printing equiptment. If you desire to help us with this project please designate your gift to “The Print Shop”. Thank you!
