We are getting settled in Pointe Noire and are spending most of our time learning about the country and this city. Here are some of the things that we discovered.Where is Congo? What is it like?
The Republic of Congo is found in Central Africa and shares a border with Cameroun, Central African Republic to the north, the Democratic Republic of Congo to the east and south, the small exclave of Angola to the south, and Gabon to the west. It is a little bigger than Italy and has almost 2.5 million people who live in the south mainly in the two main cities, Brazzaville (the capital) and Pointe Noire (the economic center and port). The northern section of the country is mainly rain forest. Congo is located on the equator and has a tropical climate with an average temperature of 75 degrees.
What are we doing here?
Our main priority will be to help the local churches grow and plant other churches in and around the city of Pointe Noire. We will also help the pastors develop leaders in their own congregations. We will work in cooperation with the CEC-PN (Christian Leadership Center-Pointe Noire) in this task.
How can we help?
You can pray for us.
1. We are looking for God’s guidance. We are not sure how and where to start our work here.
2. Pray for our housing. We are looking for housing as well and not sure what to do. We are living in a guest house now which is a little small but larger than what we were used to in France.
3. Pray for your participation with us in the ministry here. You play an important role in all aspects of our ministry here. We are excited about what God will do in and through us as we begin this journey together in the Congo.
