Teague has taken 15 trips to Jamaica preaching the gospel and winning the lost. It was in 1999 that Bro. Teague took his first trip to Cameroon in West Africa and realized that God wanted more from him as a missionary/evangelist. During this first trip to Cameroon God gave him a burden for the people in that country. Since that time, he has founded and headed up African Holiness Missions, a missions group that has planted and built several churches in Cameroon, bought and distributed bibles, purchased vehicles for pastors and property to build churches, as well as food and clothing.

Teague and Bro. Tim Hudson, only then did he understand why Bro. Teague had such a burden and spoke so passionately about Africa.
