The Ebola outbreak is affecting local churches in the DRC, increasing pressure on their ministry. A front-line worker has highlighted the challenges faced by these churches as they respond to the crisis. The outbreak has resulted in the loss of several local pastors, making it difficult for some churches to provide care for orphans and others in need.

Despite these challenges, a local ministry has taken steps to mobilize and train churches in proper Ebola response. Further details about the impact of the Ebola outbreak on local churches and how to support them are available from the Voice of the Martyrs.
