DRC


Well, at this point, I’m only going to get 4.5 hours of sleep, so I’ll make this very brief.  I’m leaving early tomorrow morning for an EMI project trip in eastern DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo).  We’re designing sustainable electrical, water, and wastewater systems for a 100-acre campus that houses a university and other ministry centers.  (The campus is off-grid and needs a plan to serve a campus of what may become 2000-3000 people!)  The ministry is the Congo Initiative, which was started by several Congolese community and church leaders who came together several years ago to ask how the church could be working to help improve the future of the DRC.  Their plan: a university and other training centers to help raise up and train future indigenous leaders to make a difference!  Please pray for safety as we drive 12 hours to reach our site and will be in a relatively unstable region once we get there.  The whole team of 10 just got together today for the first time, and I’m really excited for this project and the great team that God has brought together!
