The NCP Congo
Partnership Is:
Building hope, relationships, and empowerment for the people of DR Congo and New Castle Presbytery through mutual respect, understanding, support, and love.
“When we come together, we rise. And in the world
we’re building, everyone rises. No one is exploited
because they’re poor or excluded because they’re weak…We have shed our false boundaries.
We can love without limits. We see ourselves in others. We see ourselves as others. That is the moment of lift”.
Melinda Gates
The NCP Congo partnership was established in 2004 with Kananga Presbytery, located in West Kasai province of central Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Currently, our team consists of 18 churches and
four new church developments.
“We love because He first loved us.”
1 John 4:19
More Bibles coming!
Last year with the gracious help of our Presbytery, churches and individuals, we raised $50,000 for 5000 bibles in the Tshiluba language. They were quickly disbursed and our friends in Kananga were overjoyed to receive them. Elder Simon Ntumba, director of the Printing Press in Kananga (Improka), was able to order another 5000 with funds he saved through the sales of the first stock, and a generous donation by a large Presbyterian church in South Korea, where the bibles are printed. Those bibles are arriving this month. They now cost $16 each, very costly to most of the people there.
Therefore, we are asking if churches and individuals would help subsidize the cost with a donation of $10 per bible. You can donate through the Presbytery Breezeline Portal on our NCPCongo Partnership website, or send a check payable to NCP, and earmarked Congo bibles and mail to 560 People’s Plaza #240, Newark, DE, 19702. Thank you for any support you can give.
