DR Congo: suffering but awaiting a new beginning

At least fifteen people were killed in clashes between armed groups as ethnic tensions broke out in the village of Mukeberwa in North Kivu province. Clashes then erupted between the assailants and the Hutu rebels of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, or FDLR, who control the village. A UN peace-keeping mission has reported rises in inter-ethnic tensions since January. Meanwhile Prayercast report that Christianity has multiplied and evangelicals have increased ten-fold since 1960, fruit of the many martyrs who gave their lives for Christ in 1964. Their blood has truly been the seed of the Church. However, deep demonic strongholds still hold DR Congo in bondage.
