Their enduring presence bespeaks the presence of Christ through their gentle demeanor. Well advanced in age, they didn’t miss a session of our seminars and exuded a desire to keep learning and growing. In my mind, they represent the absolute best and beauty of the church of Jesus in Congo. Perhaps others who know them better can comment further.

Naomi Unruh praised them. “Pasteur Wenge, old and enduring is putting it mildly, through the rebellion in the 60’s, village pasteur and evangelist, who has given his most and best, and when things had deteriorated to a point that only an outsider could be brought in to resolve the conflicts and church politics of leadership, he was the man! Aged and now impaired with failing eyesight and cataracts, they still hold to the faith in desperate financial circumstances that surrounds them in old age with no pension, they truly live by FAITH. I’m moved again beyond words to see this picture as I was to see them in person.”

Praise God for such a dear couple.
