Currently the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is involved in a civil war with surrounding
countries, and several rebel fighters, have been going into villages, located in the bush and
destroying their homes, killing the adults and leaving children to fend for themselves. Recently we’ve become aware of twelve children who had been stranded there. We sent in a team and have brought them to the church and are preparing a plan on how to best serve these children. These are Pygmy children which makes it a little more difficult to help them. They cannot be placed in other homes because they have little knowledge of the culture and no understanding of the language. So far we’ve been able to raise funds to provide mattresses and food, and are attempting to acquire a home to rent that can accommodate them. Two Pygmy woman have agreed to move into the home, and care for the children, and we are looking at building an orphanage on a plot of land that the church currently owns.
