​CONGO RIVER MISSION – The Great Commission. Matt 28:18-20
​Travel with us and be part of a success story by enabling us to open the portals from Cape Town to Kisangani along the banks of the Congo River, bringing Good News of Salvation to the people on the rural banks of the Congo River. Although accepting God is a free choice, we know that Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent Me draws him” and I will raise him up at the last day - John 6:44 "and by Grace He confirms it again and again. Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD appeared to him from afar, saying, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness"

The life of a professional Missionary
"Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles“ (Matthew 10:16-18). Trained in all aspects in theology, the local culture of the area, we set out to prepare for each outreach trying to think of all aspects that might occur. As Missionaries we are forced to become beggars to further the cause through talking to churches organizations, & individuals who would like to see the Gospel spread, but do not have the ability. We are not all called to be Missionaries, but we can all assist in various ways. We trust God to supply our every need. Although difficult leaving our families to attend to strangers, we as Missionaries have to complete our calling no matter how difficult or fraught with danger. • The need to answer the call in obedience is paramount.

Those who over many centuries had bought into Christianity are confident that the truly Biblical lifestyle brings balance, progress and prosperity to all who follow Jesus Christ. “At El Shaddai Projects we share the methodology of Faith in Action”

John 15:15-16 (NSV) "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will remain — so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you. "

​When people get to know and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and resolve to obey Him, God responds by giving them the gift of His Holy Spirit – Acts 2:38 also Acts 19:5-6

​To the outside world and the well-established international Christian churches in the reached world, the concept of an estimated 18 million deep rural dwellers in the Congo River catchment area seems unreal. The concept of living in isolated villages along and beyond the 1 734 km of the main navigable stretch of the Congo River between Kisangani and Kinshasa unimaginable. The 147 km from Matadi to Banana, the Atlantic Ocean, the 14 000 km of river banks along a number of navigable tributaries, are all but a faint mirage. We appeal rather that it not be ignored at comfortable missions meetings or in luxurious church headquarters.

God’s calling is holy and unique. 
2 Timothy 6-9 "For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time."

ESPI Southern-Africa Development Outreach & Congo River Mission
​“Needs & Prayer List”

1. Our immediate requirements are vast yet obtainable. Whether you assist in the gift of a Bible, or sponsor a liter of Diesel along with your prayer for this mission, it will be enormously appreciated. We know that you will assist in the manner that God has called you.
2. We need Bibles in French, Congo Swahili and Lingala (for Kivu and Congo River Area), Portuguese for Mozambique, Chichewa (Malawi) and in English.
3. We need contributions for fuel (Diesel) and general vehicle maintenance.
4. We desperately need a good reliable 4x4 vehicle. A project is visible at the website for the future replacement of the 1999 Toyota Hilux now moving along towards 500 000 km of farming and missions service. The hand of God has been over this vehicle.
5. Network referrals for much better Great Commission and Full Gospel cooperation among rural and agriculturally focused ministries and missions between Cape Town and Kisangani.
6. Sharing and promoting of initiatives for Church Plants that include Centre of Excellence, agricultural and micro enterprise opportunities for ground level societies. 
7. Prayer partners and Intercessors to witness daily miracles through God’s amazing plan to remake human beings into His Spiritual Image 1 John 3:3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
8. We need to partner with Organizations that are already involved in Rural development, as we need to show God’s love in a practical manner by assisting people to care for themselves, their families and communities. Most Congo tribes have ancient lineage.
9. We need Partners from the International Christian churches globally who need a partner in Africa for their mission outreach programs. Together, and with the Grace of God we could move mountains.
10. We need registered NGO’s and Business who are able to partner with us in various sectors such as Good News, micro enterprise, alternative energy and conservation agriculture.
11. If possible Partner with Medical organizations prepared to invest by volunteering their services, medicines, bandages, etc.
12. There is a dire need for Governmental agencies in Southern-Africa and Africa to become involved. God’s Word changes the World and allows His light to shine in the hearts of all.

1 Corinthians 13 NIV 

1. ​If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10. but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
11. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
12. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Romans 10:14 – 15 (NIV) "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
