Project CONGO: Empowering a Nation, One Leader at a Time

The Democratic Republic of Congo, a nation rich in resources, yet plagued by poverty, inequality, and instability, desperately needs transformative change. Project CONGO is a bold initiative designed to empower local leaders and equip them with the tools needed to address these pressing challenges. On Monday, December 9th, we held an informational meeting to discuss some of the big ideas surrounding Project CONGO, highlighted below!

Why Project CONGO Matters

By investing in the leadership potential of Congolese leaders, we can unlock a wave of positive impact. Our focus on coaching will enable these leaders to:

• Inspire change: Catalyze positive transformation within their communities.
• Empower others: Develop future generations of leaders.
• Build sustainable solutions: Make more and better disciples that make more and better disciples.

Our Vision

To achieve this ambitious goal, we have outlined a comprehensive two-year plan:

1. Launch a 2-year coach training program in January 2025.
2. Conduct an in-person workshop in the Democratic Republic of Congo in July 2025.
3. Complete Stage 1 of the training program by the end of 2025.
4. Begin Stage 2, the train-the-trainer cycle, in January 2026.

Generosity Update:

We have already raised $25,000, which is 55% of our goal of $45,000.  I am encouraged that we will reach our year-end goal so that we can deliver the full package of what we have prepared.  My hope is that we can include a Health & Wellness workshop that Gina would lead to enriching local community leaders to establish important habits for physical, mental, and spiritual health.
