from World Food Programs – 8 March 2013
Kinshasa – Two United Nations agencies are stepping up efforts to assist refugees from the Central Africa Republic (CAR) who have fled into the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The violence or activity has so far not been in the communities where the church is found, nor where we have personnel. Continue reading…
“God didn’t bring me to recovery… recovery brought me to God” is a comment we often here at Recovery Worship. People are in search of a “Higher Power,” a God of their understanding that will help them live a life in recovery. More than anything else Recovery Worship is a place for “seekers”; people seeking God, and also people seeking a non-judgmental worshiping community where they can share the weaknesses and struggles with people who understand, and people who have shared in those struggles.

Many of us use this season to focus on how the Light of the world is reflected in and through our global work.
