On Monday, May 25th, 2026, the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC) officially commemorated the PCC Tree Planting Week with a symbolic and impactful launch of the One Christian, One Tree (OCHOT) Initiative.
At the designated orchard space of Holy Hills, the hierarchy of the church—including the Moderator, Synod Clerk, Financial Secretary, Synod Congregation Pastor, Educational Secretary, and other leaders—each planted a fruit tree as a living testimony of faith and stewardship. A total of 18 fruit trees where planted, made up of plums, pears, citrus fruits( organge, lemon, mandarin) mangoes and soursoup.
In his address, the Moderator of the PCC emphasized that Christians are called to be good stewards not only of themselves but of God’s creation. He highlighted that this initiative is the church’s way of actively participating in climate change mitigation, ensuring that faith communities contribute meaningfully to environmental protection and sustainability.
Spearheaded by CEDAR‑COM
The initiative is led by CEDAR‑COM, following the successful launch of the One Child, One Tree Initiative in March 2026. To date, this program has already resulted in 2,001 fruit trees planted across six regions of Cameroon, demonstrating the power of collective action and faith‑based environmental stewardship.
Why OCHOT Matters
- Environmental Impact: Trees improve air quality, restore watersheds, and combat climate change.
- Nutritional & Social Benefits: Fruit trees provide food security and shade for fellowship.
- Spiritual Growth: Planting trees is an act of worship and a legacy for future generations.
- Community Unity: Congregations and families bond through shared stewardship.
Call to Action
CEDAR‑COM believes in “Trees for a Better Humanity.” Every Christian is invited to plant and nurture at least one tree during this week, leaving behind a legacy of hope, faith, and care for creation. Together, we can transform our congregations and communities into gardens of life, ensuring a greener, healthier future for generations to come.
One Christian. One Tree. One Greener, Healthier Future.
