News from CMS missionaries in Congo
Judy Acheson (CMS UK) and Malcolm and Elizabeth Richards (CMS Aust) prayer notes mentioned:
Teachers are on strike (they haven't been paid by the Govt for years - having to beg or bribe money from parents) they've given the Govt an ultimatum. It looks as though the children won't got to school this year. We really need prayer as there is so much unhappiness.
