The Lutheran World Federation's video: Le Sauveur est venu au monde Cameroon

December 24 hymn is from LWF World Service Cameroon Hymn: "Le sauveur est venu au monde" ("The Savior has come into the world") Writer/Composer: Free composition Choir: Mixed Lutheran choir at Borgop refugee camp, Cameroon Lyrics (English translation) : The Savior has come into the world (chorus) Yes, the Savior has come into the world. The song is based on two Bible verses: Luke 2:11, “To you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord” and 1 Timothy 1:15, “The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the foremost.” It is performed by a mixed choir comprising members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cameroon, refugees and the host community at the Borgop refugee camp and neighboring villages, and some LWF staff. They are singing in Fulfulde, a Peuhl language spoken in Cameroon and neighboring Central African Republic (CAR). The subtitles are in French. Present in Cameroon since 2014, the LWF responds to internal needs caused by crises and conflicts in neighboring countries. Through LWF's support, people who have fled conflict in northern Nigeria and CAR, locals who are internally displaced, host communities and returnees, have access to education, water, sanitation and livelihoods. At the same time, activities aimed at social cohesion and conflict prevention ensure the sustainability of these achievements.
