"The eastern Kivu and northeastern areas remain unstable with regular violence, a patchwork of rebel forces and militias. Around 1.3 million people in the east of the country alone have been uprooted. Life in refugee camps is miserable and uncertain. Those interned are vulnerable to militia attacks, disease and sexual predation, and they live with little or no resources for anything beyond mere survival. Untold horrors have been committed against many thousands of innocents. The Church’s social impact has grown, since it has emerged as the only viable national structure to endure in the general social, political and economic collapse of the country. Despite the destruction of countless churches and ministry buildings, only the Church has plugged the gap left by a failed state in terms of caring for the many needs in this broken land".....(Operation World)
The Eastern Congo is where I work......there is much work to be done!

today in the new York times......
"......Congo is one of the poorest, most chaotic nations on the planet, ruined by unrest that is estimated to have claimed millions of lives in the past 10 years. In many corners of the country, law, order, electricity and medicine are virtually nonexistent. Mass rape has been epidemic...........
.......though rich in minerals and verdant landscapes, Congo is one of the hungriest countries on earth, according to experts. It is last on the '2011 Global Hunger Index', a measure of malnutrition compiled by the International Food Policy Research Institute, and has gotten worse. It was the only country where the food situation dropped from"alarming" to "extremely alarming", the institute reported in 2012. Half the country is considered undernourished."
-----------------------------------
They have commissioned me to deliver their respectful request for aid of any/all kinds!
I have seen the reality of the above report, I cannot shrink back from this burden they have placed on me. In our context it is hard to ask for support, but how can I do otherwise? As difficult as it is to keep asking, I WILL keep asking! I MUST keep asking! Once you have witnessed how hard they work, how courageous and uncomplaining they are, and yet how overwhelmingly needy.......my resistance to asking for help dissolves!
