In Word and Deed
Thanks to God , OMS missionaries , national coworkers , and partners in Goma , Democratic Republic of Congo ( DRC ), 22,000 pounds of vitamin-enriched lentils and rice were distributed in early 2023 to people in need . Along with the food relief , our DRC partners shared the Gospel message with every recipient . More than 100 people accepted Christ ! One government leader , a Muslim , was so happy for the much-needed assistance that he blessed the efforts and encouraged our workers to continue sharing the Good News .
Annie ’ s Testimony
Annie lives in an eastern province of Zambia . She shares , “ Before I gave my life to Christ , I lived as a prostitute , and I believed in using superstitious charms . I used the charms to attract married men as clients . I lived this kind of life from 2010 until 2021 when OMS Village Church Planting workers came to my village and shared the Word of God . I believed and gave my life to Christ . In 2022 , I formed a small ( church ) group , where I share the Good News of Jesus weekly . I thank God that I am a changed person . I am not the same .”
