It was a long journey returning to the Congo from the U.S.  After 9 months of almost constant travel, it felt so good to arrive back to our own little apartment and unpack our suitcases! We’re happy to be settled, and as Michael said, “to be able to do the work instead of just talking about it for so long.”

There is a hole in our yard…a deep hole…a deep dark hole. It was dug a little over a month ago and is a future outhouse.

In the remote, rural villages of Congo, having a midwife deliver a baby can be the difference between a healthy birth or Death….

I came across this memory on Facebook today: “Connect Kikongo is 10 likes away from our goal of 125 likes before Monday…”

A new day has dawned at Kikongo! For those of you who have followed our lives during the past three years, you know that this has been our most difficult term as missionaries in the Congo.

After being missionaries in the D.R. Congo for nearly thirty years, we are really being stretched now! Over sixty years ago, the Kikongo pastoral training school was established to train rural pastoral leadership. We have been involved with this school for twenty years.
