Cup & Cross Broadcasting over Cameroon
The Bonne Nouvelle (Good News) Radio in Cameroon is starting to broadcast Cup & Cross Ministries’ revival services. The Nouvelle Radio is a national broadcast network with six regional stations located in the towns of Yaounde (the capital), Douala, Bafoussam, NgaounderĐ¹, Kribi and Ebolowa. The Ebolowa station alone provides coverage over four major Cameroonian cities (Mengong, Bewong-bane, Abang, and Bityli). It is projected that the services will soon be broadcasted through a seventh retranslating station in the town of Kye-osi at the border with Equatorial Guinea.
