It is stated that over 4 million orphaned children are living in the Democratic Republic of Congo!

. The loss of six million people has left many orphans who have no future and depend on international organizations, churches and programs to give them support. 

    “Orphan-headed households are becoming increasingly common. As victims of discrimination, most of these children have no choice but to seek work, whatever the conditions, in order to survive.” (World of Child Labor: An Historical and Regional Survey)

     In eastern Congo, education is destroyed completely, many villages have no school. 

   “The United Nations estimates that tens of thousands of children in the Congo are fighting in armed groups, they are promised food, money or other benefits to the family.”   (Child Slaves in the Modern World)

Wikipedia states that D.R. Congo has the highest number of child soldiers globally.

                                                 WE NEED TO ACT!

No one showed greater concern for the least than our Lord Jesus. No one showed a greater commitment to give than He did. No one showed a greater confidence in God’s provision than Him.

Even take a moment upon reading this to lift up these needy children.

The people of Congo live in a perpetual state of crisis.

With God, we will continue to carry on serving these needy people.

When a little child is homeless, cold and hungry, we must provide care.

Do you think this is really a God need?

One that is really breaking the heart of God or not?

Is this something Jesus would do? 

Something God would want done?

I don't know what problems we'll confront in the future or what needs will arise.

But what we DO know is that;

    - there is no need our God cannot meet

    - no chaos to which He cannot bring order

    - no prayer too big for Him to answer

    - no promise that is too difficult for Him to fulfill

Please pray with us

Ephesians 3:20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think

 Thank you to all of you who faithfully pray for us;

"the man or woman at home who prays often has as much to do with the effectiveness of the missionary on the field, and  consequently with the results of his or her labours, as the missionary" R.A. Torrey evangelist and pastor

You are a great help to us!

 Thank you to all who bought our Congo Coffee, we were able to purchase $1000 worth of Swahili Bibles!!

Should we continue selling this great coffee? Let us 

know what you think?

favourite things....

We hold RURAL pastor conferences, reminding them they are not random, forgotten or overlooked. Heaven knows their names!

Even though we felt under-prayed for this great event, God still over-delivered.

So thankful!

Between 150-200 attended.

 We extend our sincere thank you for supporting TBA. We were able to meet the urgent needs of 54 orphaned children with food and non-food items. Supplies included bread, sugar, powdered milk, oatmeal, soap, lotion for girls, and other basic hygiene products.

We also received support for our Elderly (Tupende Wazee)

Food assistance was also extended to vulnerable elderly people under the Tupende Wazee (love our seniors) program, ensuring that they, too, received care and encouragement in this challenging season.

My mission report testifies that the church of Christ and TBA ministry remain both a refuge and a beacon of hope in the DRC, meeting spiritual needs through the gospel and addressing physical needs through acts of compassion.

We praise God that He made a way for Together Building Africa to get food and supplies to the vulnerable seniors that we support!

They each received a large bag of food to sustain them until the streets are less frightening.

The long blue item they are holding is an excellent laundry soap made in Congo (your whites will never be whiter!) The other item is an oil that protects their skin from the harsh climate.
