Bringing hope in D R Congo
Your generosity is providing displaced people in D R Congo with life-saving aid. Thanks to your faithful support, up to 1,000 households are receiving rice, beans and vegetable oil, along with blankets and bedding.
The province of North Kivu in Congo has been gripped by a renewed devastating conflict between the M23 group and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In May of this year the violence escalated, increasing the number of displaced people to 2.8 million in North Kivu.
BMS World Mission workers were based in the country from the 1870s until the 2010s. They shared the gospel and established several hospitals to care for the sick. Baptist churches in the region still have close links with BMS, and it’s an honour to support them as they offer hope to people displaced by conflict.
Armed groups have recently attacked aid workers and people fleeing the conflict. Local Baptist churches and our partner, Baptist World Aid, will continue to deliver humanitarian aid to households displaced by conflict, whilst doing all they can to ensure the safety and security of their staff. They are deeply grateful for your prayers at this difficult time.
