We are asking for the assistance of the WCICC Membership to come to the rescue of a WCICC Member Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our pastor has said, "The church is literally hanging on its edge.”  The structure began to lose its earthly footing in April of 2011, during a particularly heavy raining spell.   What was left was an unstable church, the home of nearly 600 faithful members near the city of Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. "We are now in the rainy season again for the next few months and our church continues to slide away. Soon the building will collapse, leaving so many without a place in which to worship and minister. Without our church building, it will be impossible to meet the needs of so many people. Many are coming to Christ simply as a result of the church being there to meet their needs every day."
 
Our National Director for the Democratic Republic of Congo has reported to International Christian Relief (ICR) what needs to be done is to secure this structure through the use of wire reinforced cement, anchor poles and pinning.
 
The National Director has said, "This church is our center of influence in this region. It is our home church and our home with God. We need immediate assistance."  He further explains if the structure collapses, the costs to rebuild a new church will certainly far outweigh the current need for repair and tells us all at the WCICC worldwide, "time is of the essence, as it will continue to rain hard and often through May 2012".
 
We, at International Christian Relief (ICR), the Mission Arm of the WCICC, ask that you assist us in this much needed immediate relief project to save this church. Their need is now. We are asking for a donation of any amount:  $25, $50 $100, $500, $1000. Any amount will help. If we are successful, of course, we will be able to save this church and its people from the greater hardship of having to rebuild the church. Please, if the Lord leads you, please assist us in giving cause for celebration for our Christian brothers and sisters of Bukavu, DRC and their church.
 
 May the Lord richly bless you for your gift and thank you for  your  donation.
