The focal country for World Relief NEXT is the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The DRC is the biggest tragedy in the world… and practicly nobody is talking about it.
In January 2008, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) survey found that “5,400,000 people have died from war-related causes in Congo since 1998—the world’s deadliest documented conflict since WWII.”
The following is a video put together by Beth Fischer for the launch of World Relief NEXT this past weekend to show a slice of the tragedy taking place in the Congo and to help the community at Antioch to begin learning about the DRC.
