Summary
SummaryI am Dr. David Kasali, founder and president of Congo Initiative. Iβve seen villages torn apart by bombsβone explosion 60 km from our gathering killed parents and orphaned four children. Each week, the Allied Democratic Forces hunt Christians, killing pastors who pray against them and testing our faith under guns. Yet I believe God calls us to discipleship: reading the Bible and praying daily, confronting our harsh realities with scripture. Through our partnership with Voice of the Martyrs, we bring Bibles and shelter to orphans at Maison Shalom, offering hope amid destruction. Let us stand firm, trusting that prayer is our weapon and that Godβs protection surrounds us.

βWhen people are not discipled, they are frail. Their faith is not strong.β
Dr. David Kasali, founder and president of Congo Initiative, is determined to disciple more Christians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a place where they are being specifically targeted for persecution by terrorist groups and radical Islamists.
Listen as David tells about recent attacks by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), including one where a Christian man was murdered on the spot just for acknowledging his faith in Christ and another where a nearby church was bombed during services. Such attacks are becoming more and more common in DRC.
Born into a pastorβs family, David shares about his heritage and his fatherβs love for the Lord and for his people. Heβll tell of his fatherβs efforts to win an entire village to Christ and plant a church there.
David shares how he helps prepare Congolese Christians for persecution and the importance of standing strong in Christ during hardship and suffering. Desiring to see the next generation equipped for spiritual victory, David disciples Christians to read the Bible and pray everyday. He says when we take the Bible and apply it into the context of where we are living, then we can face any challenges of the culture around us.
When you do that, David says, βYouβre creating disciples and creating people to know what they believe and why they believe it.β
Hear David share how the ADF knew a Christian pastor was praying against the activities of their forces, and learn how you can pray for the church in the Congo and how The Voice of the Martyrs is helping provide Bibles and serve persecuted Christians there.
