Reaching out to isolated, unreached, overlooked, neglected or rebel-traumatized villages along the rivers of the Congo River basin provide very many challenges. Those villagers that are reached rejoice with the angels … but even with a bible in the hand, they are still poor, hungry and long for more in life. How can the global church and international Christian business do better in the eastern DR Congo, now that President Trump managed to broker a peace? There was, once upon a time, a model for commerce and industry along the rivers, with factories in larger towns. Palm oil. Soap. Saw mills. Grain milling and silos. A sugar cane processing plant. Indigenous food plants. Farming with tilapia, chickens, goats, rabbits and cattle.
