In July 2011, the President of HIM, Ps Simon Eng, with Ps Brendan Kirby of Hope Adelaide went to visit our African Hope Churches in Liberia and Democratic Republic of Congo. They met with the pastors and leaders, encouraged them and deepened the bond with our international Hope family of churches. Here is a report of the visit.

[Hope Liberia, Africa]
A Liberia and Congo Ministry Report by Pastor Simon Eng
I want to share in particular one aspect. I was in western Africa in June. I travelled to the country of Liberia and after that, I went to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Pastor Brendan came along with me on this journey. We preached over in these two nations. We conducted crusades in these nations and we encouraged our pastors and leaders over there. In DRC, we have 51 churches going; in Liberia, we have six churches going. Both the pastors from our African churches are dynamic men of God. I really believe deep in my heart God has many wonderful things that he is going to do in Africa. We strategized; we talked about the things we want to see in Africa.
Pray with us for Africa because I believe there are huge needs there. These two nations have recently come out of civil wars and in many ways; they are just reconstructing the nation. The people are desperate, the people are poor; these people are looking for God, for peace and wanting to build their nation as well.
[Hope Congo, Africa]
Pray with us because I really believe God has many things he wants to do in these two countries and these two pastors and leaders as well are also visionary and enthusiastic to be able to carry the work in their entire nations and going into the nations of Africa. At DRC, our leaders speak French, so they can reach the French-speaking part of Africa. On the west-side in Liberia, they are English-speaking and fluent in their local language. So I believe this is a fantastic potential of what God is doing.
