In June of this year, Omega Foundation conducted a trauma healing seminar and began the construction of a church building in Minembwe, DRC. This remote area is not accessible by vehicle as there are no roads. A small aircraft carried the team into Minembwe. They were met with enthusiasm by the local people, and more than 3,000 attended the joint reconciliation service. Mary Bellofatto, a counseling professional, gave workshops on healing from trauma. Wilson Hickam and Pastor Pascale from Goma, DRC, taught seminars of local pastors about reconciliation through Christ. Minembwe is the base for a military contingent of the South Kivu area. The general in charge there gave his testimony of receiving Christ in 1998 after witnessing a God\'s intervention in saving his troops in a situation where they were outnumbered 100 to 1. The church being constructed will be attended by many of the military and their families. | |
