Over 100 believers murdered. Homes turned to ashes. Entire villages forced into displacement camps. 💔

Across Sub-Saharan Africa, violent attacks targeting Christians are leaving deep scars on families and entire communities. In eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo—particularly in North Kivu and Ituri provinces—a relentless wave of violence has upended everyday life.

Reverend Mbula Samaki witnessed this devastation firsthand:

"We recorded more than 100 Christians killed, massacred, including 15 from my church. Five from my own family. We come in front of everyone because only prayer can console... You praying for us always gives us hope in life."

When families endure repeating cycles of loss, injury, economic devastation, and trauma, the temptation to despair is real. Yet the local church holds firmly to faith, pleading not for vengeance, but for peace, justice, and the prayers of the global body of Christ.

Prayer is essential, but it must be paired with concrete action. We must ensure these communities are not forgotten by the world.

Join the Arise Africa Campaign today. We are calling on the African Union, the United Nations, and world leaders to act decisively for:

Protection: Defending vulnerable communities against violent militant assaults.

Justice: Fairly prosecuting perpetrators of violence.

Restoration: Healing and rebuilding shattered communities.

Stop the violence. Start the healing.

Plus de 100 croyants assassinés. Des maisons réduites en cendres. Des villages entiers contraints de se réfugier dans des camps de déplacés. 💔

Partout en Afrique subsaharienne, les attaques violentes visant les chrétiens laissent des traces profondes sur les familles et des communautés entières. Dans l’est de la République démocratique du Congo — en particulier dans les provinces du Nord-Kivu et de l’Ituri —, une vague incessante de violence a bouleversé la vie quotidienne.

Le révérend Mbula Samaki a été témoin direct de cette dévastation :

« Nous avons dénombré plus de 100 chrétiens tués, massacrés, dont 15 membres de mon église. Cinq membres de ma propre famille. Nous nous présentons devant tout le monde car seule la prière peut nous consoler… Vos prières pour nous nous donnent toujours de l’espoir dans la vie. »

Lorsque les familles subissent des cycles répétitifs de pertes, de blessures, de ruine économique et de traumatismes, la tentation du désespoir est bien réelle. Pourtant, l’Église locale reste fermement ancrée dans la foi, implorant non pas la vengeance, mais la paix, la justice et les prières du corps mondial du Christ.

La prière est essentielle, mais elle doit s’accompagner d’actions concrètes. Nous devons veiller à ce que ces communautés ne soient pas oubliées par le monde.

Rejoignez dès aujourd’hui la campagne « Arise Africa ». Nous appelons l’Union africaine, les Nations unies et les dirigeants mondiaux à agir de manière décisive pour :

La protection : défendre les communautés vulnérables contre les attaques violentes des militants.

La justice : poursuivre équitablement les auteurs de violences.

La reconstruction : guérir et reconstruire les communautés brisées.

Mettons fin à la violence. Entamons la guérison.

Mais de 100 crentes assassinados. Casas reduzidas a cinzas. Aldeias inteiras forçadas a refugiar-se em campos de deslocados. 💔

Em toda a África Subsariana, ataques violentos dirigidos contra cristãos estão a deixar marcas profundas nas famílias e em comunidades inteiras. No leste da República Democrática do Congo — particularmente nas províncias de Kivu do Norte e Ituri —, uma onda implacável de violência virou a vida quotidiana de cabeça para baixo.

O reverendo Mbula Samaki testemunhou esta devastação em primeira mão:

«Registámos mais de 100 cristãos mortos, massacrados, incluindo 15 da minha igreja. Cinco da minha própria família. Apresentamo-nos perante todos porque só a oração pode consolar... As vossas orações por nós dão-nos sempre esperança na vida.»

Quando as famílias enfrentam ciclos repetidos de perda, ferimentos, devastação económica e trauma, a tentação de cair no desespero é real. No entanto, a igreja local mantém-se firme na fé, implorando não por vingança, mas por paz, justiça e pelas orações do corpo global de Cristo.

A oração é essencial, mas deve ser acompanhada de ações concretas. Temos de garantir que estas comunidades não sejam esquecidas pelo mundo.

Junte-se hoje à Campanha Arise Africa. Apelamos à União Africana, às Nações Unidas e aos líderes mundiais para que ajam de forma decisiva em prol de:

Proteção: Defender as comunidades vulneráveis contra ataques violentos de militantes.

Justiça: Julgar de forma justa os autores de atos de violência.

Restauração: Curar e reconstruir comunidades devastadas.

Acabem com a violência. Dêem início à cura.

Generosity is not first a financial issue. It is a discipleship issue. It is a matter of the heart, stewardship and obedience.

Today, the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya - EAK and the Association of Evangelicals in Africa - AEA hosted a Share the Light Generosity Breakfast at AEA Plaza, bringing together more than 100 Christian leaders.

The room brought together pastors and leaders who carry the responsibility of shepherding churches, shaping communities and advancing the mission of God.

Together, we asked an important question:

What would it look like for the Church in Africa to embrace generosity as a way of life?

The conversation was not simply about raising money. It was about cultivating hearts that understand that everything we have is entrusted to us by God, and that our resources, influence, relationships and opportunities can all become instruments for His purposes.

For a Church with such a significant assignment in Africa, the question of stewardship cannot be left at the margins.

We need leaders who model generosity.
We need believers who understand generosity as part of discipleship.
And we need to build a culture where what God places in our hands is intentionally stewarded for His Kingdom and the good of others.

Dr. Master Matlhaope, Secretary General of the Association of Evangelicals in Africa, was invited by Daystar University's Chancellor Dr. Florence Muindi, Council Chair Prof. George Njoroge, and Vice Chancellor Prof. Laban Ayiro to lead devotion at the university's Vice Chancellor's Breakfast with eminent clergy in Nairobi, held under the theme "Re-Engineering the Leadership DNA of the Church in Africa."

Reflecting on Acts 13:16–22 and Israel's leadership succession to David, a man after God’s own heart, Dr. Matlhaope titled his message "Leadership is of God," drawing out three truths: leadership originates from God, leadership is global, and leadership is timeless.

"Show me a leader and I'll show you a vision," he said, urging leaders to embrace stewardship not just of resources but of people; identifying and preparing the next generation of leaders. "When leaders die, leadership continues," he reminded the gathering, calling for a vision as broad and global as God's own.

Méditant sur Actes 13, 16-22 et la succession à la tête d’Israël par David, un homme selon le cœur de Dieu, le Dr Matlhaope a intitulé son message « Le leadership vient de Dieu », en mettant en avant trois vérités : le leadership trouve son origine en Dieu, il est universel et intemporel.

« Montrez-moi un dirigeant et je vous montrerai une vision », a-t-il déclaré, exhortant les dirigeants à assumer la gestion non seulement des ressources, mais aussi des personnes, en identifiant et en préparant la prochaine génération de dirigeants. « Lorsque les dirigeants meurent, le leadership perdure », a-t-il rappelé à l’assemblée, appelant à une vision aussi vaste et universelle que celle de Dieu lui-même.

On 27 July 2025, Komanda in Eastern DRC witnessed one of the region’s deadliest attacks.

During an all-night prayer vigil, militants from the ISIS-linked Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) killed 49 Christians including nine children and abducted around 20 others.

Eyewitnesses report that attackers looted the village before setting homes and shops on fire.

In the aftermath, the UN’s MONUSCO mission brought in bulldozers to dig a mass grave, where the victims were buried in simple coffins.

This tragedy comes just months after 70 believers were reportedly beheaded inside a church in Kasanga. Many survivors live in fear, carrying deep emotional scars as attacks continue.

Open Doors is working with local partners to bring trauma care, relief aid, and to call the global Church to action.

Please pray for the grieving, for protection over believers in Eastern DRC, and for an end to the violence.
