Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was a thriving community years ago. Its isolation in many respects since had suppressed its further or redevelopment as a central Africa hub port and religious centre. The University of Kisangani had started out as a Christian institution. Congo River Mission shares an office in Kisangani.

Trusty the 1999 Toyota Hilux 3D 4×4 missions workhorse is still serving well, – albeit a bit rusty, dented and work weary. Partnering b.m.o. US $5 000 would help to sponsor a rejuvenation!

The balances between conflict mineral wars, being chased from tribal lands, deforestation, over exploitation of bushmeat and agriculture are very fine along the Congo River. The absence of the church does not help.
Please support Congo River Mission!

The current economic climate might encourage missionaries to reconsider their outreach model. Where the church sending model or sponsors might suffer constraints, there are Tentmaking or Mission via honest business.

Have you noticed how terrible news, plagues, conflict mineral rebels, the killing of local communities, travel warnings and the hi-jacking of tourists, NGO workers and now even ambassadors prevail from the DRC? Is it co-incidence, bad luck, a bad omen or sheer manipulation by plunderers of the DRC’s resources? How then must the Church do its work?

This 1999 Toyota Hilux 3D had seen good mission service and many repairs. Presently the body, some mechanical components and suspension show some wear and tear. The engine was re-done in December 2014. The missions highway between Cape Town and Kisangani could not be honestly and safely declared open by means of the Africa Peace and Development Expedition in September 2014, due to travel restrictions in North and South Kivu provinces in the DR Congo. To re-attempt this in 2021 would either require a project to refurbish this same vehicle at a cost of perhaps US $5000 or a full replacement with accessories such as a double fuel tank, roof rack, winch, tow bar, raised suspension, adjustable storage space, canopy … at US $60 000 plus! Plan C would be to recruit a volunteer convoy. Your sending partnership makes the difference! 3 John : 6-8
Congo River Mission not only spreads the Good News and helps to facilitate International Christian ministry and mission networks, but also encourages a 6 days a week social gospel of good works and good fruit in society. Every church plant needs a centre of excellence. A hub of community ministry on all possible and contextual terrains of local society. This includes small scale and household subsistence farming. Why? Because working the land is a God ordained ministry of the soil and of feeding the body, given in Genesis 2:15. Along the Congo River there are a number of factors that restrict stewardship with regard to agriculture and farming. Conflicts and wars chase people from ancestral lands. Bush meat and Congo River fish are easy but by now hardly sustainable food. Conflict Mineral rebel regions leave villagers without any sense of ownership or security, and this situation perpetuates poor and under fed communities, or worse, refugee camps in the eastern DRC. Yet, Farming-Gods-Way.org is a Bible based method of affordable small scale farming.
