22 years of Congo River Mission had been interrupted by rebels once more, in 2025. A recurrence since the call in 2004. A repetitive situation of exploitation and slavery perpetuated throughout recorded history of the DR Congo. For the Western or European church to work alongside the indigenous Christian churches in the eastern DR Congo is very difficult since the Simba Rebellion in Kisangani between 1959 and 1964. The UK and USA as traditionally strong sending churches, and such as the Baptist Missionary Society (BMS) and Africa Inland Mission (AIM) contributed to Christian influence into Africa. Never intended to be bad, but grossly abused there where trade, commerce and political influence filled the gaps where church planting was not followed up, or where economic hit men were more diligent than sent missionaries. Kisangani remains isolated. Shrinking. The surrounding unreached remain unreached. Will this Christian generation also continue to turn a blind eye regarding the old Belgium Congo? I pray to return to Kisangani soon. The core purpose of the Christian Church, to spread the Good News to the ends of the earth, cannot continue to bow to rebels! Will you please pray today and support the repeated effort to reach isolated, neglected, overlooked and traumatized villages along the rivers in the Congo
