It is important for people to know what is happening there. I have been to Goma, DR Congo and another small town in eastern Congo the past two summers with a team to lead church leadership conferences. I have met women who were raped, and heard the stories of brutality. Last summer, we even saw a soldier from some military group being buried. He had come to town one night to loot or rape, and the town's people rose up and killed him. This summer we are returning to Goma to teach a church leadership conference for pastors, women's leaders, and other ministry type leaders who live in the troubled areas. We will be teaching them about HIV/AIDS, how it is spread, and how to care for those who have it. We will be teaching on the ministry of reconciliation, and how a relationship with Jesus can bring healing to the brokenhearted and peace among different tribes. We will also be teaching former child soldiers work skills, sports, and about God's path vs. the destructive paths of violence and hatred.
