Congo-Kinshasa (MNN) ― Grace Ministries International just launched a three-pronged evangelism and training ministry initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The first prong involved two days of training in Muslim evangelism for 40 church leaders. Training covered problem solving and providing help in organizing two evangelistic campaigns to be held before Christmas.
Just after the team laid the groundwork on Muslim ministry, the second phase launched. The project was called "A Thousand Kids for Christ."
Primary school directors, high school principals, chaplains and members of the core team from the Christian Education department made up the roughly 50 participants.
The goal of this seminar was to establish lines of communication, reports, identify new chaplains who can teach religion classes, and hold weekly chapels for the students.
From there, the team taught the chaplains how to use two or three different course manuals that have a new style. Bill Vinton also taught the school officials the concept of salvation to help them know how to reach students for Christ.
The seminar served a dual purpose: not only to teach the teachers, but also to establish an infrastructure for future ministry.
GMI hopes to distribute Bibles
and religion-teaching materials in French and Swahili, to serve as the foundation
to support an upcoming distribution of 30,000 copies of the Book of Hope.
Lastly, the GMI team used
the last seminar to kick off a new school year for the ministry's thirteen
Bible schools. The directors and teachers all received textbooks and attended an
administration seminar.
Please pray for the missionary teams serving GMI in this region, as they cultivate the growth of new ministries throughout the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
