Missions Team Leaves for Nyankunde, Congo Today

February 26, 2010

This is the second year UBC has sent a team to work with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) to help rebuild a mission station heavily damaged in ethnic warfare in 2002. The team members are:

  • Dave Babcock (new this year)
  • Brian Clark
  • John Dalrymple
  • Dave Jacobsson (MAF missionary pilot in Congo)
  • Doug Schoenborn (new this year)
  • Keith Tucker

This year, in addition to preparing more missionary housing, the team will install a generator and establish a woodworking shop. Another Boise team from Summit Church (formerly Second Baptist) will immediately follow the UBC team, together providing four full weeks of focused rebuilding progress. We hope this will be a big step in enabling MAF to re-establish their operations in Nyankunde, where they will be far more effective in their ministry than in their current situation.

We thank you for your interest and ask prayer for:

  • Effectiveness in the physical work
  • Team unity
  • Ministry to MAF local staff and the Nyankunde community
  • Safety
