OMI Provincial for DR Congo Visits SCBRC Office

The Rev. Fr. Macaire Manimba, OMI Provincial Superior of the DR Congo Province visited the SCBRC Office to listen to the urgent appeal for missionaries from Bishop Macram of Nuba Moutains/El Obeid.

The Nuba Mountains is one of the most difficult missions in the Sudan. For decades the Nuba people suffered the most in the more than two decades of civil war that was concluded in 2005 with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the Khartoum Government and the SPLA.

Fr. Anthony Bagoye, the Secretary General of the SCBRC, explained the need for more missionaries and pastoral workers in South Sudan with particular focus on the urgent appeal of Bishop Macram.

Fr. Macaire listened to the appeal with great interest and would see the possibility of sending a mission team in the Nuba after a more thorough discussion with the local Church and his Council.
