Congo
2 Campaigns in Week 3
In our final week in Congo, CfaN is preaching the Gospel in Kananga and Mwene-Ditu.
During three weeks from 30 July – 18 August, CfaN is conducting six Gospel Campaigns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo). There are two campaigns happening simultaneously each week. Evangelist Daniel Kolenda will be preaching, alongside several Bootcamp graduates and CfaN-affiliated evangelists.
Day 5 – Kananga and Mwene-Ditu, Congo
The final night of our last two campaigns in Congo was a time of great celebration and blessing.
In both Kananga and Mwene-Ditu, the evangelists prayed over the region, commissioning the churches to disciple the new believers, and encouraging them to continue in the unity they have built in these weeks. The effect on the local churches has been profound and will continue long after we are gone. We believe this is just the beginning for these cities – a revival has been ignited!
Right now, our team are on their way home after weeks and even months away from their families. I thank God for their faithful service and sacrifice, all for Jesus. Won’t you pray for them, for health, rest and recovery? Because the job is never done! Even as we rejoice over what God did in Congo, we already have our eyes on the next set of campaigns coming up in Ethiopia in just a few weeks.

In Kananga, Evangelist Nathan Morris preached a final salvation message, and once more, the response was overwhelming.

In Mwene-Ditu, the final meeting was nothing short of a miracle explosion!
The field was packed, with more than half the crowd indicating it was their first time there. The word of what God is doing here has spread far and wide. When Evangelist Rubens Cunha gave the altar call, 36,650 made the decision to follow Jesus!
