Richard, who we helped escape certain death at the hands of a D R Congo assassination squad a year ago, has been missing now for ten days from the family’s safe house, giving great concern to his wife and six children stranded  because of the conflict in the DR Congo. Praise God today he made phone contact confirming he is still alive, but as to his whereabouts or if he is being held against his will we still don’t know. Please hold their ladders in prayer – these are tough days for those defending the defenceless at the broken heart of Africa.

Eastern Congo (2000 km from Kinshasa) is in turmoil as Rwandan backed militia cross the border at will, thousands fleeing before them as they seek control of the mineral wealth in this region using rape and unrestrained violence against women and children
