DR Congo: overcoming evil with good

8 May 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our week of prayer for DR Congo this week and our prayer event on Thursday. Please keep praying for the people of DR Congo. CMS-Africa specifically ask for prayer for 120 pastors in Goma who are currently working through trauma healing with CMS partner Kivu Care. Pray for the trauma healing ministry to continue to grow so that it can be offered to more people who are deeply affected by trauma. Please also pray for the work of a peace centre in Bunia run by CMS partner Bisoke Balikenga – including an upcoming seminar for people with disabilities and women’s empowerment training.
