Pastors Honoré and Clarisse have developed an inter-denominational ministry known as CEERCA, based in the capital Bangui of Central African Republic. They focus particularly on evangelistic outreach, church planting, leadership and children's ministry training.
The ministry in Bangui focuses especially on working together among the various denominations and church groups to bring training in leadership and organizing trips into the countryside to plant churches and hold evangelistic and training seminars. With increased violence and instability after the coup in 2013, planning seminars and conferences has become almost impossible, although Pastor Honoré continues to teach and preach whenever he can and particularly focuses on the need for forgiveness and peace rather than revenge. As of mid-2014 he has been able to help organize several open-air events to preach on reconciliation, which have had an impact on many in various areas around the capital.
Every few months well organized trips are taken to villages in the countryside of C.A.R where there are few churches and great need for evangelism and leadership training, including for children's ministry.
In June 2011 Pastor Honore settled on a site just outside the capital to develop a ministry base, home and eventually an orphanage. He and his family began by clearing the land and planting fruits and vegetables to provide food, as well as holding weekly meetings with local children to teach them about Jesus. These photos show how they have worked hard to make their own bricks and begin construction, and even start a new church there in July 2012. Unfortunately after the government coup in 2013 resulting in many months of violence and clashes, the plans to develop the site have had to be put on hold until there is more stability in the country.
