DR Congo...

It's not a country who's name conjures images of idyllic beaches on the Indian Ocean. It doesn't lead you to think of conquering Kilimanjaro or trekking across the Serengeti tracking lions on safari. There are no pyramids or sphinx to photograph...

DR Congo...

For millions of Congolese Africans it's home. Home in a war-torn country filled with refugees and victims of endless conflict where there is no infrastructure, and few hospitals. Where there is rarely even a primary school, and seemingly no hope that things will ever change for the better.

But we know hope- His name is Jesus and He is the one who can bring change to the Congo. This is why ALAG has sent a team to the Congo. Led by Pastor Greg, our team will be encouraging local pastors and breaking ground on the Kindu Bible Institute. A school who's purpose is to bring hope and change to this region by shining a light in the darkness- by shining THE LIGHT.

Please pray for our team- Pastor Greg, Pastor Jim, John B, Michael C, Jerry F, Jason S, and Erik W. Pray for their safety as they build. Pray for them to be an encouragement to those who will stay behind and continue to minister long after our team returns home. Pray for our guys to be encouraged as well.

Pray for our team...

Pray for DR Congo...
