Democratic Republic of the Congo—The end of December and beginning of January saw the Reform Movement youth from across South East Africa gathered in the DRC for two events.
From December 25 to January 2, the 2nd Francophone Youth Convention was held in Kananga. The theme was "Assieds-toi d’abord pour calculer la depense" (Sit down first and calculate the cost), based on Luke 14:29-30. At the end of the youth convention in Kananga, over twenty young people made a public commitment to the Lord through Holy Baptism.
Meanwhile, in Haut Katanga, the youth gathered from December 24 to January 1 for a youth retreat. To mark the end of this event, there was also a baptism, followed by Holy Communion.
Young people came from Malawi, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Congo, Kinshasa, and the churches that form the Kananga Mission to attend these events. We praise the Lord for opening the doors for these meetings to take place, as well as for the traveling mercies He afforded our brethren.
