 Weekly Impact Overview

During the week of December 22–28, 2025, IGRM DRC continued walking closely with communities across the Kivu region. Ministry activities reflected the realities on the ground—some areas requiring more attention, others focused on depth rather than frequency.

The emphasis this week was on faithful presence, relational ministry, and spiritual encouragement, allowing leaders to respond flexibly to community needs.

 Faith in Action Across the Kivu Communities

IGRM leaders and volunteers served faithfully through worship, children’s ministry, mentoring, and home visits. The variation in activities allowed teams to focus energy where needs were greatest while maintaining consistency in core ministries.

“Let us not grow weary of doing good.” (Galatians 6:9)

 Ministry Highlights

 Worship Services

Six worship services gathered believers for prayer, praise, and teaching from God’s Word. These gatherings strengthened unity and reminded communities of God’s faithfulness.

 Children’s Saturday & Sunday Classes

Six children’s classes provided safe and joyful environments where children learned about God’s love, peace, obedience, and hope through stories, songs, and creative activities.

Three women’s gatherings offered prayer, encouragement, and shared reflection. Women were strengthened spiritually and encouraged in their roles within families and communities.
