Methodist Missions - Mulungwishi, D.R. Congo

How to help


Part of the answer for the hope of Africa and her children are people called by God and trained to share and be channels of the Kingdom of God.  Be in prayer for them as they face the challenges before them.  Many will receive less than $10 per month as salary.

With your help we can...

  • Provide financial support of our students
  • Provide continuing education for national staff - doctorates
  • Increase library holdings
  • Upgrade computer facilities
  • Expand and renovate student housing
  • Endow professorial chairs
  • Build housing for faculty
  • Construct one or more classrooms for the Women's School
  • Construct a faculty office block

Especially important is financial support of our students.  $1,500 supports a student and his family for one year.  $1,000 supports one single student.  You can support Seminary (Faculte Methodiste de Theologie) students at Mulungwishi station by donating to Advance Special #005773A.

You also can be a part of the UMC's missions to the DR Congo (Haute-Katanga Province and Mulungwishi) by:

  • Donating to an Advance special:
    • Mulungwishi Women's School, #08112A
    • Katanga Methodist University Professors' Salaries, #14432A
    • Katanga Methodist University Program, #14433A
  • Sending a donation for the Mulungwishi Ministry calendar.
  • Praying.
    See the Mulungwishi Ministry calendar for suggested prayers each month.
  • Volunteering your time (Volunteers in Mission, church group mission trips to Mulungwishi, help get the word out at your church, etc.)

Please avoid mailing packages directly to the mission station.  It's hard for them to reliably receive such packages across country borders.  Instead, support them with funds, especially to help seminary students.

 U.S. mailing address 

While the Persons family is in the United States, you can send packages to their U.S. address:

David and Lori Persons
1707 S. Deframe St.
Lakewood, CO 80228
719-269-3729

 Materials needed

Current material needs are for lots of sewing items, such as needles, pins, and embroidery thread.  Another need is baby items: soft nightgowns, cloth diapers, and rubber pants.  Please avoid sending heavy items, as there is a weight limit for air travel return to Mulungwishi.  Each box taken as excess baggage costs about $140 in shipping.
