Restoration Ministry – O.E.I.L. is a reconciliation
and peace building project, run for the healing and transformation of the
Congolese nation after wars, operating for souls’ rehabilitation first, from
the north-east region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. As branch of the
Bilingual Christian University of Congo – ‘U.C.B.C.’ of the Congo Initiative - CI operating in Beni,
Restoration Ministry – O.E.I.L. is promoting Church Renewal and Global Mission
move.
Vision:
We see the Democratic Republic of Congo in peace
internally and with neighbouring countries and that people are continually being
transformed through God’s Kingdom values, whereof the Congolese nation is
holistically restored by the renewal of churches and their mission.
Goal:
To conciliate peace in the region and facilitate the
steady growth of transformation actions nationwide through ministering Biblical
healing of psycho-social wounds; and also promote holistic restoration through
the renewal of churches (which are composed of more than 85% the population) in
D.R.C., by applying Biblical principles of community development – that we also
call Community Transformation – which also empowers people in the communities to
express and live out their healing.
Objectives:
1. Allow
more people to experience healing of their psychosocial wounds so to increase
the number of those who are able to live genuine forgiveness withing the
society in East-DRC for easy cohabitation between tribes.
2. To
run open-air rallies where healed people (ex-combatants & transformation
agents), after they have gone through discipleship training, are given
opportunity to deliver testimonies and public confession to allow the
population get relieved from bitterness caused by lack of justice on committed
crimes, so to help them forgive when hearing someone who confesses them.
3. To
promote justice for the poor by educating vulnerable groups at the presence of
local authorities in legal matters related to land conflict resolutions, rape
and any other kind of abuse and working with the judiciary in using Christian
lawyers; but also help the vulnerable to weight consequences of quick reaction
in comparison to tolerance founded in Christian forgiveness.
4. Establish
the centre for refreshing and equipping Church leaders, where teaching on Biblical principles
of development, leadership development, Christian stewardship, and other topics
of discipleship which will certainly change the mind and release their
potential for greater creativity to promote the renewal of churches and
holistic mission.
5. Develop
the capacity of O.E.I.L. members for humble walk with the Lord so to record
successful achievements and allow greater impact of the ministry in depth and expansion for the glory of God.
6. Increase the impact of the ministry’s message through activities which promote Community
Transformation by direct inputs to develop people and by producing backing
resources (written literature and Audio-Visual) for distribution in the
communities.
