The Democratic Republic of Congo is located in the Great Lakes region of Africa and should not be confused with the Republic of Congo. The DR Congo is the third largest nation in Africa and approximately 1/4 of the size of the USA

Its neighbors are Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

We have special friends who are located in Boma. First of all, there is  FACTEB, also known as the Boma Seminary.This is the ministry and leadership training school for the Alliance denomination is the DR Congo called CEAC.

 In addition, the head office of CEAC is located in Boma as well.

Boma is a city of approximately 250,000 people situated on the Congo river in Western portion of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The province it is located in is Bas-Congo.

Boma is a key city in the mission movement which started in the late 19th century. Although that particular mission movement is complete, Boma is now an area that contains a thriving group of churches, hospitals, and schools. We feel and sense that God is moving in Boma to raise up leaders that will affect communities through out DR Congo, Africa and the world!

In addition, a key leader in the Congolese church splits his time between living in Calgary, Canada and Boma, DR Congo. Dr Mabiala Kenzo and his wife Lau, provide leadership at FACTEB, a Boma based seminary and leadership training school.
