About Us

Our ministry started the day that Fahamu and I met. I have to say that I never saw this love story coming. I had decided to lead a discipleship school in Kona, Hawaii where I would be taking students on a two and a half month mission trip. When I started planning on where to lead a team, my friend and I decided to take a team to Malawi. Not enough students wanted to go to Malawi so I was teamed up with the team going to Rwanda and Uganda. Little did I know that this choice would change my life.

Our team traveled over 38 hours to get to Rwanda and when we arrived Fahamu was one of the people to pick us up. During the month that the team was in Rwanda God reviled to both of us that we were meant to get married. I was pretty shocked but I knew that God had a plan for me and Fahamu. We talked about this and gave it to God. After our month in Rwanda we finished out mission trip in Uganda. This started the long distance relationship. We were apart for eight months before I came to the Congo. Now we are married and have started our new life and ministry.

The ministry that we are running is based on the history of the D.R Congo.

D.R. Congo is the second largest country in Africa, consisting of an area equivalent to the whole of Western Europe. It has a population of over 70 million people, united mainly by the languages of French, Swahili and Lingala.

Despite having an estimated $24 trillion of neutral resources, which should make it one of the world's richest country, it is actually the poorest country in the world. The harsh dictatorship of President Mobutu from 1965-1997 left the country undeveloped and in decline. The war that followed in 1996 involved troops of seven different nations and was referred to as the “African World War”, with a death toll of 5.4 million - the largest number of deaths in a war since World War II. The Congo War from 1996-2003 together with the ongoing aftermath of rebel groups, left the people with a great deal of insecurity and instability. Many were victims of sexual violence, rape, torture and other traumas.

Fahamu was 13 when the war started in 1996. His family lived in a small village and they had to flee when the rebel group came into their village. In his family at that time there were seven kids. His mom and dad packed up everything they could carry and started walking. They would sleep under banana trees at night and walk during the day. There was one time where they didn't sleep and walked through night. In the time of the war the family had walked over 100 miles all together. While they walked they saw many awful things, people murdered, children left with out parents and many more awful things.

The awful things that Fahamu saw would guide him in starting a ministry.

The war ended but many rebel groups continued to fight in D.R Congo. Many of the rebel groups started to recruit children to be in they army. Neighboring counties continued to come into the country and fight these rebel groups killing lots of innocent children.

The people who were or are still in rebel groups say there is no hope. They don't believe that this country can change. The kids who saw their parents murdered in front of their own eyes don't have hope. The women who were raped have no hope. Many of the people who live here in the D.R Congo have no hope.  Our ministry is based on healing and teaching about the past to prevent these things from happening again.

We want to bring back hope, love and respect to this country. There are many ways we want to do this. First we want to teach the Bible. We want to teach truth.
