A message of thanks from Alexis and NHRC team

Dear Friends,

Our Congolese partners at New Hope Reconciliation Center (NHRC) are so thankful for your generosity that they have created a special video message to express their gratitude to you directly. Take a look as they show the newly-completed New Hope Academy* opening in January 2025 to our inaugural class of students!

On behalf of the Congo Peace Board of Directors, I also want to thank you for your generous donations. Your support is enabling us to fund all the school’s operations and NHRC’s ongoing reconciliation work through June 2025.

Hallelujah!

We’re halfway there - please help us complete our work for 2025. Over the course of the next few months, our goal is to raise $80,000 to cover all operations through the end of 2025. As you plan your end of the year giving for 2024 or plan for 2025, we hope you will consider including Congo Peace in your gift-giving.

I wish you and your family a season full of joy and peace! May your Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year be filled with God’s blessings. My hope is that you will join us in transforming the lives of our brothers and sisters in East Congo and help bring the gifts of peace and hope of God’s kingdom to the south Kivu region.

In Christ,

Pastor Alexis Ruhumuriza

Executive Director, Congo Peace

* New Hope Academy is a residential training center located in Kavumu which is near Bukavu in DRC. It is a center where young adults from multiple tribes, many with a history of conflict, will be living and learning together in Christian unity. This vocational school was built by these same diverse tribes working together so that their youth can become leaders spreading peace and economic opportunity for their families and communities. At New Hope Academy they will gain employable skills to break the cycle of poverty and violence in an atmosphere of reconciliation.
