The Congo Initiative
Gift Catalog

The Arkansas Conference of The United Methodist Church has made a commitment to the Congolese people to build ten water wells to provide safe, clean drinking water. But there is a need for other items as well - items we take for granted in the United States. There are a number of ways you or your church can make a real difference in the lives of families in the Congo. Here are just a few ways for you to contribute.
