While the call for missions had manifested in 1996, the specifics about Congo River Mission came in September of 2004! Ground work was done up to 2014 when sending support dwindled due to perceived risk in central Africa regions. Various co-mobilization efforts, angles of approach and partnerships were attempted, – none sustainably. Many with short term vision only. Some merely exploiting the objectives of reaching the unreached in isolated villages along the Congo River and its tributaries to enhance their own ministries. Time is moving along. The work is growing cold. Here-with inviting international Christian outreach minded business partners to procure a riverside hotel as a Business as Mission base in Kisangani with a quay to harbour the MV Good News Trader.
Objectives:
1. Local business development. 2. Congo River commercial stimulation. 3. International mission participation to encourage the local church. 4. Medical outreach in cooperation with the Yakusu Hospital and Faculty of Medicine at the University of Kisangani.

If we as Christians are serious about an Africa for Christ, we need to know the mission fields of Africa, – where isolated villages remain without Good News and suffer in the absence of good works!

Continuing conflicts leave many people in the northeast of the DR Congo unable to farm their land.

The Gospel of Good News still has ground to cover. It needs feet to carry it among and beyond the drums and the witchdoctors of the Congo!

Beyond the Bonobo monkeys of the Northern DRC, there are still unreached ethno-linguistic people groups. When will the Great Commission reach them?

It could perhaps be that we as Christians got ourselves stuck on grace and faith alone, and lost the part about faith without works is dead! Mission has to be more that evangelism and baptism or planting a church. There must be productive good works and Kingdom sustaining results. Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit!

By what other ethic than the Good News and everything that Jesus had taught, would we ensure a productive harvest for Africa, in Africa, by Africa?

Do Christian businesspeople have a larger role to play in Africa? What can the DR Congo offer to engage more international business interest?

Reaching the unreached requires more planning, effort, resources and endurance. Failing to follow through to make disciples of converts, historically leads to falling away or a contaminated gospel. Make the Great Commission your biggest ambition!

Are we as Christian missionaries diligent in continuing the work of those who went before?
