This week, our hearts are heavy for the people of Beni.

On Sunday morning, an attack reportedly carried out by the Allied Democratic Forces, or ADF, took the lives of 16 people, including 15 civilians and one soldier. The attack happened just one kilometer from the UCBC campus in a village called Ngadi.

For our students, faculty and staff, the violence in eastern Congo is not distant or abstract. And still, they continue forward.

At UCBC, the classroom remains a place where courage is practiced, hope is protected and the next generation is equipped to serve and lead with wisdom and compassion.

We grieve with those who lost loved ones. We pray for those living in fear. And we stand with the UCBC community as they continue to be a place of learning, faith and hope in the heart of Beni.

Please join us in supporting UCBC in moments like these in any way you’re able.

The work of transformation in eastern Congo is not done alone. It is part of a larger story of the global Church.

Through partnerships, prayer and shared mission, churches and individuals around the world are walking alongside UCBC students and their communities. Together, we are learning from one another, encouraging one another and participating in God’s work of renewal.

This is what mission looks like today—not one-directional, but mutual. A global community joined in faith, hope and a shared calling to serve.

For 20 years, this work has been about people.

Students becoming leaders.
Communities building solutions.
Hope taking root.

Help us raise $20,000 to continue the story.
