Thank you for reporting on the issues in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Not enough people even know that the place exists. I am blessed beyond words to have just adopted a baby boy from DRC. He has been home 8 weeks. His father was killed in the conflicts near Goma and his mother died of malnutrition after walking hundreds of miles to escape the fighting and other horrors perpetrated on woman and children. She delivered her 4 month old baby into the arms of Methodist missionaries and then died shortly thereafter. God's grace brought our baby home to us. But there are literally millions more like him in that tiny corner of the world between DRC, Sudan, Rwanda, Uganda, and of course, Burundi. I am thrilled that our church has taken a stand in an often forgotten part of the world. Please keep the news from DRC coming!
