- This week we would ask you to please pray for 8,000 Congolese refugees who fled this last week to neighboring
Burundi.
They are fleeing fighting between the
Mai Mai rebels and the Congolese government. May they experience God’s care
and concern in a powerful way.
According to ReliefWeb, in 2017 “At least 1.3 million people, including more than 800,000 children, have been
displaced by inter-ethnic violence and clashes between the regular army, militia and armed groups in the provinces
of
Tanganyika and
South Kivu in the eastern
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) . . . The DRC is now home to
one of the largest displacement crises in the world for children.”
The preface to the recent BLF Éditions book, “Ils ont aimé leur prochain” (They loved their neighbor: 31 Christians
show the way of solidarity) was written by
Dr. Denis Mukwege, the Congolese gynecologist who repairs victims of rape.
Please pray for Dr. Mukwege and for all those who minister to victims of the trauma of war. May many be equipped to
bring healing and comfort to these victims.
