The Democratic Republic of Congo has been entrenched in civil war for many years. In recent years MI partners Pastor John Paul Munganga has languished in a Ugandan refugee camp with his family and many of his church members. Their desire is to return home, however their area is in rebel hands and so it is too dangerous to return. Please pray that hostilities end and that this family and the many refugees in Uganda can return home again.
