Pentecostal Church in Kinshasa Mobilizes Faithful for March Supporting National Institutions

The faithful of the Pentecostal Church “Mboka ya Ekimelo,” known as the World Light Church (EPLM), gathered in Kinshasa on Tuesday to participate in a public demonstration supporting the Republic’s institutions and the national dialogue led by the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The mobilization, organized by the congregation, reflected their commitment to backing the government’s initiatives and promoting national unity.

Joseph Osongo, head of the delegation from the Cité des Refuges Church, explained that the faithful brought water bottles symbolizing life and victory. “We came to walk alongside the power in place to support it, on the instruction of our pastor, Mulindwa Jules,” he said. “We fully support the President of the Republic in the initiatives he has taken, including the national dialogue, as well as the state institutions.”

The church’s participation in the march underscored its role in advocating for stability and progress in the DRC. Members expressed hope for the nation’s future, emphasizing their belief in the importance of supporting the country’s institutions. The event also highlighted the church’s influence in local civic engagement and its alignment with national leadership.

In January 2026, the church had previously organized a prayer at the People’s Palace to celebrate the historical trade relationship between the DRC and the United States. This demonstrated the congregation’s involvement in international and national affairs, reflecting its broader mission of promoting peace and cooperation.

The Washington Accords between the DRC and Rwanda, signed in December 2025, were another example of the church’s engagement with regional diplomacy. Initial discussions had begun in June 2025, and the agreement was signed under the presidency of Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. These events illustrated the church’s active role in fostering international partnerships and dialogue.

The mobilization in Kinshasa served as a reminder of the church’s commitment to national unity and the well-being of the Congolese people. By participating in public demonstrations, the faithful of “Mboka ya Ekimelo” sought to reinforce their support for the Republic’s institutions and the ongoing efforts to strengthen the nation’s governance. Their actions reflected a desire to contribute to the country’s stability and future prosperity.
