DR Congo: training programmes

25 September 2025

We give thanks for people taking part in CMS-Africa’s training programmes, including women’s empowerment training and 3D (Discover, Develop, Deploy, training for young people looking to fulfil their potential). Jeff Sikabwe, CMS-Africa’s country coordinator in DR Congo, shares that women’s saving groups and young people who have completed 3D training are engaged in various sectors despite ongoing insecurity due to rebel activity. Pray for Christians to continue to grow in their faith and character through these courses.
