Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path-Psalm 119:105

Keeping the spiritual well-being of clergy and congregations healthy is a vital element to what keeps a church strong and growing. For many churches, a single copy of the Bible shared among many is the only resource available that can be used. Language barriers and cultural differences require the creation of educational materials designed specifically for Congo. While the Bible has been translated into the local mother tongue, Kiluba and Swahili, these translations (and even French versions!) tend to be expensive and hard to find. Sunday school materials for younger people, hymnals and Bible study guides also are in short supply and highly desired by our congregations.

While difficulties in obtaining these types of spiritual formation tools are challenging, they are not impossible. Overcoming them would require funding to custom-order materials and the ability to distribute and sell them at subsidized prices. Your donations for such evangelistic tools would benefit the Church as a whole, as the North Katanga continues to be one of the fastest growing United Methodist conferences in the world.
