The Christian Church in Indiana has begun a partnership with
the Mbandaka District of the Disciples of Christ Community in the Congo.
Nine Hoosier Disciples travelled to the Congo May 18-28.
Video Available
Attendees
at the 2008 Regional Assembly at Purdue saw the video that shares the
experiences and reflections of the delegation. Attendees also received a
DVD containing the 12-minute video. Copies of the DVD were also mailed to
each congregation.
You can watch the video or download a copy for
your use. The video is a very large file that will require
approxiomately 10 minutes to download at DSL speeds.
Is your congregation looking for a project to help support our
mission partners in the Congo? The Division of Overseas Ministry has
several ideas: education for young (child) mothers, pharmacy, cooking school and
more. Please
download the document that describes the various project opportunities.

If your congregation or a group in your congregation decides
to undertake one of these projects, please let us know so that we can share the
news around the region.
For Study
Members of the Task Force are compiling a bibliography of
books related to the Congo, its people and its
history. Some of these books have study materials available to facilitate
conversations in study groups or Sunday school classes.
View the bibliography.
