DR Congo: Ebola outbreak continues

17 September 2026

Please pray for the people of DR Congo, where the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record continues and over 7,000 cases have been recorded. Worst hit is the north-east corner of the country, where CMS partner Bisoke Balikenga leads a peace centre. Pray for Bisoke and others at the peace centre as they do their best to serve all those who come to the peace centre for help. Pray for people to take precautions to help stop the spread of the disease, and for the outbreak to come to an end quickly.
