Prayer Request for Escalating Violence in the Congo

As we get ready to head out, first to Poland and then back to Africa, we have a very serious prayer request for the Congo and our Congolese team there. Violence is escalating because of an upcoming election which is threatening to de-stabilize the area as well as create a dangerous environment for Steven, Angel, and the rest of our Congolese team. As of this writing, we have been advised against going into the Congo. We are disappointed, but must not underestimate the volatility of the situation at this time. Please keep this region and our team there in your prayers. NOTE: If you received this by email it is because you are subscribed to our travel blog.
