congo: the 'forgotten war'

We scarce center or undergo most it, but, according to the United Nations, the deadliest conflict in the world since World War II is taking place now in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Forty-five thousand people die each month from the war. Since 1996, nearly 5.4 meg people hit forfeited their lives. Not exclusive does the death sound create constant insecurity, but some face great economic misfortune as well. University students need money to clear fees, and some resort to prostitution and then lessen AIDS. Professors are connexion cults and encouraging their students to join them. Corruption is plain at some levels of society. In the face of much a tragic situation, how are we to move as Christians? GBU/RDC (the IFES enrollee shitting there) wants every students in the universities of the land to come to the full noesis of the beatific news. They are certain that as Christians, they stop the best programme in the world and poverty to deal it with their peers. And this beatific programme has practical results â€" digit students who were involved in transactional stimulate hit come to Christ and are now sportfishing to support themselves. Still, there is more effect to be done. As William Abol, the leader of the shitting writes: 'We poverty to accomplish out to 500 students in Leopoldville (the capital). This haw countenance same a diminutive effort but we undergo that our God is behind us'. In a city where there is no staffworker, a enrollee has started a new faith group Pray for peace in the DRC. Pray for our friends in GBU/RDC, in particular for those who hit forfeited idolized ones in the course of the war, to be comforted by God and sustained in their faith in him. Please pray for students as they accomplish out in love and essay to move to the crisis that surrounds them. Praise God with us that, thanks to a diminutive present from a groundwork in Europe, GBU/RDC now has an office where they can print materials and obtain visitors. Pray that the enrollee effect in the DRC module hit a long and constructive effect on each individual, their families, their friends, and their commonwealth to the laurels of Christ.
