The children of Goma are caught in a nightmare. Street kids face execution by armed groups as violence spirals out of control. A recent city order forcing them off the streets has left these vulnerable youth with nowhere to hide from predators. Christian ministries like Africa New Day work tirelessly to shield them, but the tide of evil keeps rising.
Camille and Esther Ntoto’s Africa New Day ministry battles against impossible odds. Their programs offer shelter and hope to kids targeted by both rebels and corrupt officials. While UN committees wring their hands about “grave violations,” brave believers risk their lives daily to pull children from the jaws of death. These modern-day Good Samaritans prove faith without works is dead.
The mayor’s decision to clear streets has become a death sentence. Instead of protecting the innocent, it drives children into the crossfire of warring factions. M23 rebels now hunt displaced youth like animals – recruiting boys as cannon fodder and turning girls into slaves. This bureaucratic cruelty mirrors the heartlessness of ancient rulers who slaughtered Bethlehem’s children.
International organizations pour money into Congo, but corruption siphons off aid while kids starve. UN reports admit they can’t even track the missing. Meanwhile, Christian groups deliver real help – meals, safe houses, vocational training. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: global talk shops versus boots-on-the-ground disciples living the Gospel.
America’s woke priorities look grotesque beside this suffering. While Western activists obsess over pronouns, Congolese children pray simply to survive the night. The Biden administration’s weak response to Rwandan aggression enables this carnage. Strong Christian nations should demand accountability from bullies exploiting Congo’s mineral wealth.
Every believer has a role to play. Supporting ministries like Africa New Day does more than feed mouths – it sows seeds of revival. These street kids could become Congo’s future pastors, teachers, and leaders. Satan wants to destroy them, but Christ’s church offers protection. This is spiritual warfare with tangible stakes.
The world watches passively as evil triumphs. But the Body of Christ isn’t called to be spectators. Through prayer, giving, and advocacy, ordinary Christians can empower extraordinary change. The Ntotos prove one dedicated couple can impact thousands. Imagine if the global church mobilized fully.
Hope persists in the darkest places. Stories emerge of former street children leading Bible studies in refugee camps. Guerrilla pastors baptize new believers in jungle rivers. While politicians fail, God’s kingdom advances. The final chapter isn’t written – and faithful believers intend to fill it with redemption stories.
