Terrifying ultimatums are shaking the very foundation of the church in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Islamic militant group ADF has unleashed a wave of targeted violence across farming communities in North Kivu and Ituri, presenting local believers with a chilling three-choice decree: ‘convert to Islam, pay jizya (tax), or die.’
Amid the spreading chaos, entire congregations have been disrupted, leaving local leadership devastated. One local pastor shared the deep spiritual and emotional toll of the crisis, stating, ‘the Body of Christ is wounded and entire communities are grieving.’ As dozens of believers lose their lives, churches report sharp drops in attendance because frightened families are fleeing into safer areas.
The crisis is shaking the faith of the church at every level, yet local Christians refuse to stay silent. Driven by a desperate hope, believers in the region are urgently pleading for global prayer, protection, and peace to endure this fiery trial.
