He is a former young bank executive in France, a former manager in a subsidiary of the French company Total in Cameroon, and a former editor of Ponda (the Times), a weekly newspaper in Cameroon. He holds three master’s degrees in pure mathematics, public law, and managerial economics from universities in Strasbourg and Paris, France.
The author is an adamantly committed Christian and a founder of an assembly in the Baptist Church, which he led for sixteen years in Douala, Cameroon, while working.
He has been involved in various cultural and political activities and events in his home town.
There was an enthusiastic forecast by the author’s mistress of fourth grade, who was from the French West Indies and was very proud of the young black child being number one in mathematics in the best and multiracial French school in the country and who saw spontaneously Gaston becoming a bridge builder after studying civil engineering. Still under the influence of that early forecast and after his master’s degree in mathematics at the University of Strasbourg, the student went to Stanford University in California at the graduate school in civil engineering. There, Pierre Mouna-Dora discovered—as was unveiled through all his life—that our God wanted him certainly to be a bridge builder but one building bridges not on lands, but on hearts and souls.
At that time, which was still deeply a time of fights for civil rights, the author stayed one positive year at Stanford University then went back to France to study law and managerial economics in Paris.
As a grandson of a martyred young Baptist pastor in Cameroon—for not compromising over the will of God—he was raised in the church and learned to know and like the protestant Bible. So when the time became almost favorable, he looked for some brighter light in theology and was admitted in Westminster Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania on the MAR (master of art in religion) program, where he studied for one year. He feels very honored and proud to have been admitted as an alumnus of both Stanford University and Westminster Theological Seminary.view less
