Since 5 December 2025, violent attacks by an armed group have hit the town of Uvira in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a result, people from 10 CEFMC congregations (Mennonite Brethren Church of DR Congo) in the Ruzizi plain have been forcibly displaced, and others are still confined to their homes. Please pray for the affected population and members of our churches who already suffer from shortage of food and daily supplies because of the displacement. May God intervene to bring peace to this region and raise up people of goodwill to provide emergency humanitarian aid during this critical time.
