our focus

Hope - To trust in, wait for, look for; to expect something beneficial in the future.

Decades of war, violence, and poverty have resulted in the loss of over five million lives in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Without schools, health care, and reliable means of employment, the ability to recover from these devastating forces has been hindered.

Through RHM, we would seek to help restore broken lives through the transforming message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, train and educate people to open doors of opportunity, and sustain our brothers and sisters by providing solutions that would strengthen their economy, such as clean water initiatives, microfinance opportunities, and agricultural projects.

In agriculture: a piggery was constructed in 2020 and the first pigs introduced in the spring of 2021. This project is designed to fight hunger and poverty while promoting self-sufficiency. currently a Beekeeping project is in use to provide money from honey as well as pollenation to local plants and crops.

In healthcare: RHM’s sponsorship of Dr. Emile’s medical training has resulted in his graduation. He returned to Dungu in October of 2021. Along With the presence of Dr. Emile and the provision of funds for medical equipment as a result of the annual bike tour and generous donations from multiple sources, construction of an updated and enlarged medical clinic is well under way.

In Trauma Healing: plans are being formalized for several trainings this summer. RHM is working with local leadership and Master Facilitators in the DRC and surrounding countries to train people to work with adults and children. The audio materials for adults in oral cultures and the children’s trauma healing materials have not been introduced in the Dungu area before. newly trained facilitators put their skills to work! These trainings represent a tremendous opportunity for the communication of hope  and healing through faith in Christ.

The work of restoring hope through RHM continues! The prayers, generous gifts and fund-raising efforts, and the devoted leadership of men and women from all over have contributed greatly to the work God is doing to bring hope to the men, women and children of Dungu. Thank you!

Will you join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Dungu according to the words of Paul in Romans 15:13? “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
