Shift Church

Pray for Democratic Republic of Congo!
Our brothers and sisters are close to fighting there.

There is intense fighting between the rebel movement M23 (mainly composed of the Banyamulenge tribal group backed by the president and military of Rwanda) and the DRC armed forces support by African Union peace keeping troops. Recently, the city of Goma was taken over by the rebel group and hundreds of people have been killed. The rebels are also known to engage in sexual violence.

Fighting is now about 30 miles from Bukavu, where our main DOVE church is located. The declared goal of M23 is to take over Bukavu. Because of fighting, airports and government offices are closed.

PLEASE PRAY WITH US:

- for the fighting to stop and peace to be restored

- that our apostolic leader, Gabriel, can return home to Bukavu. He is stranded in Kinshasa where he was getting registration documents for DOVE DRC.

- for safety for members of the 18 DOVE churches, particularly in Bukavu where there is a direct military threat.

Such a special time at Shiftsgiving! Thanks for sharing everyone!

We just talked about this Wednesday

The devil doesn't need to destroy you if he can distract you.

We are so honored to hear from and support missionaries in Germany.
