Eight of the Ambassadors for Peace from the American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC) held 8 simultaneous Rallies of the Fourth World Peace Tour in Cameroon on November 12, 2006.

These great orators coming from different religions in America were unanimous in their vision for peace, and their support for the spread of Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s peace message to the world. The burning message they have on their lips is titled "God’s Ideal Family and Peace Kingdom", and their goal is the blessing of the family and nation.

The Cameroon chapter of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) organized a reception to honor these peacemakers at the Coastal Beach Hotel in the resort town of Limbe (South West Province) in the night of November 10, 2006. The local dignitaries of the town, many of them also ambassadors for peace, were on hand to receive them. These dignitaries included the Chancellor of Buea University, members of Parliament, the Imam of Muslim Community and other Muslim Leaders.

The African American Clergies at the reception were so touched to be back ‘at home’ in Africa. Carolyn Lincoln and Antonio Lowery sang the National Negro Anthem, saying that "the Spirit World knows no color."

Reverend Andre Jackson was the principal spokesman at the main rally which took place at "Mess des Officiers" the main Hall of the Military, right at the centre of the Yaoundé Town. "I have come here to bring to you the Love of Father Moon and Mother Moon, the True Parents of Mankind," said Jackson, "I am his personal friend. I am his mouth piece. I am his ears. I am his eyes. If you want to know anything about Reverend Moon, come to me. As his friend, I will defend him to the end of my life."

The joy of the crowd of over 300 was reflected in the words of Dr. Njiyang Charles Fuche, a lecturer at the University of Yaoundé "I am a Peace Ambassador too. Today the clergies are in the front line spreading the message of Reverend Moon, tomorrow will be my turn."

In other cities, Reverend Carolyn Larabee of the Temple of Tucson Arizona University received a standing ovation from audience of the Presbyterian Church in Makai (Center Province). Reverend Antonio Lowery who read the speech at Sa’a (Center province) was so inspired by the quality of the audience that he pledged to bring his family in June 2007 to visit that community.

Reverend Sharyn Bebeau of Archetypal Boulder Colorado Academy went to Douala with 135 participants of the Pentecostal Church. All the pastors who attended the rally in Douala promised to spread the message of Reverend Moon in all their churches.

The Pentecostal pastor who hosted the Douala Rally place said: "A few months ago, when the Vice National President of UPF/ Cameroon, Mr. Siakam, insisted that I join him in this peace movement, I was reluctant because I do not like pressure. So I replied ‘my time has not yet come’. Today God has come in my house to call for me. I recognize and accept the call. Today my house is opened to establish Eternal Peace".

Reverend Alain Leroy of the Berkeley Family Church in California gave great inspiration in a Christian Church at Edea (Littoral Province) to 325 participants. Reverend Betty Tatalajski of the Temple of Tucson University read the speech to 93 participants in Limbe (South West Province). Reverend Carolyn Lincoln gave the speech to students in the University of Buea (South West Province) while Reverend Web Price shared the speech to 53 participants of Buea Town.

All in all, the total number in attendance for 4th World Peace Tour in Cameroon was 1,283 participants. 38 new Peace Ambassadors were nominated.
