Congo, The Democratic Republic of The

Praise God for answered prayer - we have raised 65% of the funds needed for the next year of HEAL Africa’s chaplaincy project, thanks to a charitable trust. Pray the rest of the amount will come from outstanding applications.

Please pray for an end to the siege of Goma, DR Congo. Pray that roads would be able to reopen, allowing food supplies to travel through the country again and reach the vulnerable people currently facing starvation. Thank God for protecting HEAL Africa staff and their families through the many threats they’re facing in DR Congo including conflict, food shortages and even a cholera outbreak. HEAL Africa would like us to pray that overseas media would give more attention to the situation in eastern DR Congo so more support can be given to the people suffering as a result of the conflict.

Pray that God would continue to use HEAL Africa as a witness to Jesus’ love through this time of conflict in DR Congo. May God keep them safe and bring to them the most vulnerable. Also, to continue praying for those who have been forced from their villages by the ongoing conflict and are currently living in the internally displaced people camps.

Please continue to pray for DR Congo and our ministry partner there, HEAL Africa. May a resolution to the conflict be found. Ask that God would bring peace to those traumatised. Give thanks to God for HEAL Africa’s project which provides support and education for young people living on the streets. Praise God for the new art class which helps the youth to process trauma.
