We Asked...God Answered

On behalf of the Rise Congo pastors, Bible college teachers, and students, thank you for your overwhelming generosity and care for this project. Because of your giving, we were able to meet the needs for the Remote College Kits, including the televisions, solar panels, regulators, cables, and batteries.

After wiring the funds to Congo, the equipment was purchased and transported to regional hubs. From there, pastors and church men carried the equipment into their respective villages—some traveling long distances over difficult roads and footpaths. As seen in the photos, the equipment has now arrived safely, and pastors are actively assembling the systems in preparation for classes.

What began as a vision is now becoming reality.

These college kits are already greatly reducing the cost and difficulty of sending traveling Bible college teachers into remote regions. Instead of repeated and costly travel, biblical training can now continue consistently within the villages themselves. Our national Bible college director is overseeing the implementation of this new process and will continue reporting back to us as the program develops. Over time, we will continue refining and strengthening this educational model to better serve the churches and students throughout Congo.

There is another testimony behind this story that we never publicly shared.

Two weeks before we presented the need for the solar college kits, the generator in our literature department completely failed. We quietly prayed, asking God to provide wisdom and help. That generator is the backbone of our Bible college literature ministry. It powers the printing of course syllabuses and teaching materials for both our instructors and students across the colleges.

Because of the generous outpouring from His people, there was enough funding not only for the Remote College Kits, but also enough remaining to purchase a brand-new generator for the literature department. After speaking with one of our US pastors and receiving the green light to move forward, the generator was purchased and put into service.

Today, classes are moving forward smoothly, literature is being printed once again, and remote pastors are preparing students for ministry in places where biblical training was once extremely difficult to provide.

Your generosity is helping raise pastors, plant churches, disciple believers, and strengthen the spread of the Gospel throughout Congo.

Thank you for standing with us in the work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
