Our approach
C-Life is where we live out a dream that our Christian faith and our profession are interconnected and they are an answer to sustainable community development. We live out the dream of empowering others to bring meaning to their work, seeing their work as worship to God.
We believe that the beauty of our professional work is tied to the strength or maturity of our faith and this ideology provides the primary motivation to live as servant leaders even in a culture overshadowed by greed, tribalism and inequality.
We teach this ideology to our core demographic, which are university students and young professionals in Africa. We hope that they will be instrumental in contributing to a more transparent, innovative and Christ centered Africa. This C-Life dream begins in Cameroon-Africa, through the arms of three training modules Christian Discipleship, Servant leadership and career enhancement— with a primary focus on developing computer literacy, web based technology skills and entrepreneurship.
The entire training program is called The C-Life Community Lifestyle Leadership Program (C-Life residency program). This leadership-training program entails young leaders, invited in the context of community, to participate in this C-Life dream. Through our training, they too get to live out their Christian faith in a way that influences the quality of their professional work and the impact they have on their community.
The goal of the program is to use our training to equip and empower through real-life practical examples, these young African leaders, so that they emerge as people trusted by employers, customers or business partners because of their integrity, great customer service and excellent skill in their respective profession.

Our Areas of Focus
SERVANT LEADERSHIP
The ideology of servant leadership is an “other” way of thinking compared to a “me” mentality. This is a lifestyle where a leader takes the posture of seeking to discover what actions will motivate, inspire, challenge and bring out the best among those they serve.
This “other” way of life, can be capsuled in the word love, as described in 1 Cor. 13:4-5. We believe that this kind of love will be lived-out more consistently, by servant leaders who themselves have been broken from their pride, self dependence and selfishness but depend on the love and peace that comes from God through Christ Jesus. As the bible says, “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).
That is why at C-Life we believe servant leadership and Christian discipleship go hand-in-hand. It is out of ones faith in Christ and dependence on the Holy Spirit that a leader’s heart is ushered into becoming a servant leader. It is from this same strand that there is an increasing motivation to keep trying to live out this idealist lifestyle, because, to this leader, there is no other way to live.
Learning from the master servant himself, Jesus Christ, we his disciples can begin to fully understand the impossibility and at the same time the mandate of being a leader.
Jesus said about himself, Mark 10:25 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Jesus said about those who will follow him (his disciples), Mark 9:35 “He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, “Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.”
What his followers say about their role, 2 Cor 4:5 “You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake.”
At C-Life we exist to be an agent of change, empowerment and encouragement to young professional leaders in Africa, starting in Cameroon, who have bought into the idea that servant leadership is the only kind of leadership that brings about lasting community transformation and honor to God.
Through our lifestyle leadership community trainings we disciple and train young professionals with the aim of raising up a generation of African servant leaders who demonstrate their maturity of faith by their integrity and professional excellence. We hope that theses servant leaders will also exhibit a strong allegiance to social responsibility by giving back to their community on a consistent basis, causing African communities to flourish in greater peace, development and justice for all.

We believe that there is a great need not only for Christians to tell by teaching, but also to show by example by conducting ourselves as Christ followers.

THE DREAM
To build up passionate, committed followers of Christ who fear God and are accountable to the people. They will be role models in their communities, serving others with character and skill.

We understand that as Christians, true transformation comes from the inside out, and it is through a supernatural work of the Holy spirit that changes us from being slaves to evil to being slaves to all things good (Rom 6:17-18). Here are some classes C-Life will offer to disciple our residents on this journey of faith:
- How to read and understand your Bible for yourself (Bible study methods)
- Growing in intimacy with God
- Understanding why you believe what you believe
- Character and Biblical principles
- Your “secular” work as worship (The Biblical theology of work)
- Spiritual formation (small community group format)
