Congo

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Congo, formerly Evangelical Lutheran Church of Zaïre, was founded in 1969 on the initiative of lay people who were following Bible Studies offered by the former Radio Voice of the Gospel in Arusha, Tanzania. Some congregations were opened, committees established and the structure of the Church was progressively formed. Pastoral training was offered by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania in Makumira and in Mwika, Tanzania. Some Tanzanian pastors were sent from ELCT to Zaire to take care of the new members.
