Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Triumphs of the Gospel in the Belgian Congo: Being Some Account of the Mission Work That Has Been Carried on in the Belgian Congo, Africa, Since 1890 by the Presbyterian Church in the United States Congo's Need Isa. 44:14. From his hut of leaves and rushes, See, a dusky native goes; Searches mid the trees and bushes Where the mighty Congo flows; Finds a tree which suits his fancy, Cuts a log and homeward goes. Now with chisel and with mallet Fashions he the piece of wood; Then from out a dirty wallet Takes his 'bwanga' strong and good; Smears it on the ugly fetish, Which has now become his god. Ps. 115:8. And a more degraded creature, 'Twould indeed be hard to find; Sin is stamped on every feature Of his body and his mind; As his fetish, so his heart is, Filthy, naked, wretched, blind. Jn. 3:16. But at last he hears the story Of the wondrous Grace of God, Of the One who left the Glory, And this world of darkness trod; How He died for guilty sinners, To redeem them by His blood. Now we see the native turning From his idols and his sin; His enlightened heart is burning With a strange new love within; He who once was poor and wretched, Now is happy, ransomed, clean. One to God has been converted, Thousands still remain the same; Thoughts and actions all perverted, Knowing not the Saviour's name; Serving Satan, not their Maker, Living lives of sin and shame. Lord, increase our love, we pray Thee, Fields are ripe, and servants few; Teach us gladly to obey Thee, Give us willing hearts and true That, responsive to thy bidding, We may seek Thy will to do. - H.

Download or read book Encounters between Jesuits and Protestants in Africa written by Robert Aleksander Maryks and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protestants entering Africa in the nineteenth century sought to learn from earlier Jesuit presence in Ethiopia and southern Africa. The nineteenth century was itself a century of missionary scramble for Africa during which the Jesuits encountered their Protestant counterparts as both sought to evangelize the African native. Encounters between Jesuits and Protestants in Africa, edited by Robert Alexander Maryks and Festo Mkenda, S.J., presents critical reflections on the nature of those encounters in southern Africa and in Ethiopia, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Fernando Po. Though largely marked by mutual suspicion and outright competition, the encounters also reveal personal appreciations and support across denominational boundaries and thus manifest salient lessons for ecumenical encounters even in our own time. This volume is the result of the second Boston College International Symposium on Jesuit Studies held at the Jesuit Historical Institute in Africa (Nairobi, Kenya) in 2016. Thanks to generous support of the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College, it is available in Open Access.

Download or read book Recalling the Belgian Congo written by Marie-Bénédicte Dembour and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the author embarked on her study, her aim was to approach former colonial officers with a view to analyzing processes of domination in the ex-Belgian Congo. However, after establishing a rapport with some of these officers, the author was soon forced to revise her initial assumptions, widely held in present-day Belgium: these officers were not the "baddies" she had expected to meet. Exploring the colonial experience through the respondents' memories resulted in a far more complex picture of the colonial situation than she had anticipated, again forcing her to question her original assumptions. This resulted not only in a more differentiated perspective on Belgian colonialist rule, but is also sensitized her as regards the question of anthropological understanding and of what constitutes historical fact. These two aspects of her work are reflected in this study that offers specific material on the way Belgian colonialism is remembered and reflects on its conditions of production, thus combining ethnographic analysis with a theoretical essay.

Book excerpt: In 1932 Donald and Lelia Baker arrive at Mondombe, a mission station far up a tributary of the Congo River, to heal and educate the Africans. Dr. Baker is the only doctor for an area the size of Indiana. A year later their daughter Margaret is born. In And We Ate the Leopard, Margaret Baker Wente describes the unusual story of her family's life in the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) catching marauding leopards, surviving serious malarial attacks and helping a hunting and fishing people gain the knowledge to join the modern world. Living in the jungle without electricity or neighborhood grocery stores demands pioneer ingenuity. Messages come by drum beat; canoes and bicycles provide the usual transportation; mail from the States takes three months to arrive. The mission steamboat Oregon spreads the gospel and provides transportation up and down the river for the mission. Gradually educated Congolese assume positions of responsibility. With independence in 1960, the new Congolese government proves unable to control its rampaging army. The Bakers must be evacuated by the United States Air Force after serving twenty-eight years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this vital transnational study, Kimberly D. Hill critically analyzes the colonial history of central Africa through the perspective of two African American missionaries: Alonzo Edmiston and Althea Brown Edmiston. The pair met and fell in love while working as a part of the American Presbyterian Congo Mission—an operation which aimed to support the people of the Congo Free State suffering forced labor and brutal abuses under Belgian colonial governance. They discovered a unique kinship amid the country's growing human rights movement and used their familiarity with industrial education, popularized by Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute, as a way to promote Christianity and offer valuable services to local people. From 1902 through 1941, the Edmistons designed their mission projects to promote community building, to value local resources, and to incorporate the perspectives of the African participants. They focused on childcare, teaching, translation, construction, and farming—ministries that required constant communication with their Kuba neighbors. Hill concludes with an analysis of how the Edmistons' pedagogy influenced government-sponsored industrial schools in the Belgian Congo through the 1950s. A Higher Mission illuminates not only the work of African American missionaries—who are often overlooked and under-studied—but also the transnational implications of black education in the South. Significantly, Hill also addresses the role of black foreign missionaries in the early civil rights movement, an argument that suggests an underexamined connection between earlier nineteenth-century Pan-Africanisms and activism in the interwar era.

Download or read book The Role of Church Missions in the Systematic Development of Political Life in the Belgian Congo from 1885-1960 written by Nana Gyesie and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Belgium ruled the Congo from about 1885 until 1960. During this period, many Congolese were killed, as the Belgians exacted cruel control of the land and resources. The Catholics and other missionaries received funding from the Belgians, and later became proxies for Belgian rule in the Congo. Even though Protestant missionaries run missionary schools, Catholics controlled the educational system and benefited from Belgian benevolence to support their efforts. The paper will research the ongoing work of the Church during this period of Belgian rule in the Congo.
