Kindu - CMS Ireland
In the Autumn edition of Inmission – the CMSI magazine - this is said about our link diocese of Kindu in DR Congo:
The church [diocese] itself supports 71 primary schools and 68 secondary schools, aiming to bridge the gap for children, who are losing vital opportunities for education.
The General Synod of Eglise Anglican Du Congo recently resolved that each Diocese should aim to grow by 1,000 new members every year, and have developed a strategy to train and teach people to work towards this; in the midst of war and real struggle.
