Short-term teams in Congo

Over the course of the next month, there will be numerous short-term teams traveling to Congo focusing on the medical work, GlobalFingerprints and other key partnerships. Pray for the Congolese host team as they care for the people on these teams doing ministry.

Elikya Center in Congo

Pray for ReachGlobal personnel, Sam, Sarah, Aaron, and Michelle as they complete their responsibilities at the Elikya Center in Congo. Pray that the training of the hospitality team who will host short-term teams coming to the Center will go well and that the team will be well-equipped to handle every aspect of the job.

GlobalFingerprints

Pray for God’s blessing on GlobalFingerprints U.S. staff Karen, Ben, and Rachel who are in Congo May 17 to June 5. Pray for the meetings with the Congolese staff and as they capture stories, pictures, and video to share the significant difference GlobalFingerprints child sponsorships are making in the life of each orphan.

Teams in Congo

Pray for the two teams going to Congo this month. One will focus on the development of a well drilling team and the other is gathering information on needs at the hospital and ministering to and training pastors and leaders in the church. Pray for God to orchestrate all of the preparations and details of these trips for His glory.

Church planting training in Africa

Pray for wisdom and clear communication for Pastor Selenga and Pastor Kiamu who are conducting a Multiplication Church Planting training workshop in Kinshasa, DR Congo this week.  Leaders from Congo as well as key representatives from Togo and Ivory Coast are participating in this training. Pray effective learning and that God will use this to launch a church planting movement in these areas.

Elikya Center

Pray for the U.S. team, currently in Congo, involved in the initial planning for the development of a restaurant at the Elikya Center where ReachGlobal personnel, Aaron, Michelle, Sam and Sarah are serving. Pray for God’s direction and for there to be a healthy meeting of minds and cultures. Pray that God will bless this project so it results in opportunities to bring communities together and for ReachGlobal personnel to develop relationships.

Church planting in Africa

Pray for Nubako Selenga and Nzuzi Mukawa, African leaders of ReachAfrica, the missions sending coalition of African Evangelical Free Churches, who are in Kisangani, Congo exploring opportunities for church planting and meeting with potential Congolese church planting missionaries. This is one of the strategic areas for ministry in Congo as there are many people who have yet to be reached with the gospel. Also, pray for Dave Kiamu from Liberia, Reach Africa Church Planting Director, who is in Sierra Leone conducting Multiplication Church Planting training with a group of church planters working in a highly unchurched area. 

Shipment to Congo

The shipment of supplies to Congo that was scheduled to go out last week was postponed and is now scheduled to be loaded and go out today. Ask the Lord to superintend all of the details surrounding this. Ask God to pave the way for its entry into the country and its safe and expeditious arrival.

Strategic meetings Congo

Kevin and Jim, ReachGlobal Africa leaders, leave for Congo today for two weeks. Pray for the Lord to anoint this trip with His provision of clarity, timing of events, coordination of making contacts with the right people, and to extend His blessing through the interaction that takes place as they meet with Congolese leadership.
