Every day our hearts are broken as we witness the devastating destruction and displacement taking place in Ukraine. Yet over 3800 miles from Kyiv, in South Kivu, Congolese men, women, and children are bravely enduring similar daily tragedies.

The people of both regions are engaged in a struggle to maintain hope in the face of great adversity. As followers of Jesus, we long to make a difference!
