For one week in September, we were gathered together in Lubumbashi, DRC. For one week, we worshipped in unison. For one week, we listened to each other's successes, failures and goals for the future. For one week, we ate lots of food (including trying pizza for the first time for many). As District Superintendents, Field leaders, Missionaries and fellow workers on the journey to follow Christ, we had an amazing time in fellowship as a group. Coming from cities all over the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo, our leaders were encouraged and left feeling ready to take on a new year of working for the Lord and leading others to do the same.
We thank God for small opportunities to come together as one Field and persevere together! God is on the move through this country and we continue to seek Him as He leads us all to be His hands and feet.
