Katanga Distribution

The work in central Africa is enormous. In the Democratic Republic of Congo alone, there are upwards of 1.5 million believers who are hungering for more of God's Word. We accomplish the work by a number of different methods, including website downloads, Message books, microSD cards, and any other way the Lord gives us.

Bro. Mali, VGR office manager in Kinshasa, Congo, sent us this report and pictures of their latest microSD cards distribution trip to the southern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Teams like this all over the world continue to press toward the finish line.

We left Kinshasa on Thursday, October 18th, by plane to Lubumbashi.

On Friday, October 19th, we had taken two different destinations: Brothers Marcel and Delphin left for Kasumbalesa to the border with Zambia. Brother Mali and two other volunteer brothers of VGR-Lubumbashi left for Kolwezi and Likasi.

On Saturday, October 20th, we started the distribution simultaneously in Kolwezi by Bro. Mali's team, and in Kasumbalesa with Bro. Marcel's team.

Before the distribution, we first read Brother Joseph's letter for the distribution of the memory cards, and we talked to the participants about the importance of listening to the tapes that contain the stored Food. We told them about the different Voice of God websites that they should visit to benefit from everything that is there.

The first distribution in Kolwezi was in the Shammah Tabernacle church, where our Kolwezi representative worships. On Sunday, October 21st after the various services, we distributed the cards in the largest Kolwezi church. Everything went very well to the great satisfaction of the believers from different churches in the city of Kolwezi.

On Monday, October 22, 2018, we left Kolwezi for Likasi and Brother Marcel left Kasumbalesa for Sankania. It was on Tuesday, October 23rd that we distributed the memory cards to Likasi for those who were unable to receive them at the time of the first distribution. It is the same Tuesday evening that we left Likasi for Lubumbashi.

Wednesday, October 24th and Thursday, October 25th, 2018, was our day of rest and coordination of distribution lists before the distribution on Friday, October 26th, and Saturday, October 27th, 2018.

Brother Jean de Dieu Kazadi had arranged the hall of his church to serve as a framework for the distribution of SD cards during these two days, as many believers from different churches came to collect the memory cards of the Message distributed by the Voice of God.
