“Between 2016 and 2017, people in the Kasai region faced a
terrible tragedy. It was a dark period because of a conflict between a
traditional group of warriors and government forces. Many fled their homes for
safety and hid in the bush. Brother Honoré Mulumba of the Nganza Ward in
Kananga and his family remained hidden in their house, not knowing where to go
because all the streets were transformed into firing ranges. A group of militiamen
came to their home, pulled them out and told them to adhere to their practices
or be killed. Brother Mulumba courageously told them, ‘My family and I have
accepted Jesus Christ and have faith in Him.’ They told them, ‘Your bodies will
be eaten by the dogs,’ and they promised to come back. But they never did, and
the family never saw them again. Christ is the light we should hold up during
the dark times of our mortal life.” – Elder Thierry K. Mutombo
