Congregations in Partnership

This partnership between Global Ministries, the Christian Church in Indiana and the Disciples Community in the Mbandaka District, Democratic Republic of Congo is a partnership between people and congregations. I have begun to hear ways that our Indiana congregations are connecting to Mbandaka.

I am hearing about congregations that have viewed the DVD, "Partners in Mission" during worship, Sunday School, or Missions meetings.

I have heard of several sermons preached by pastors that have looked towards the Congo.

I participated in a creative stewardship dinner that looked at the hospitality and generosity of our Congolese partners as they considered their own giving within the congregation.

I know of many congregations that have had someone from the recent trip trip to Mbandaka to come to share about partnership and our partners.

How have you started to connect to your partnership with the Disciples of Mbandaka? I would love to hear.
