The Christian church has been going through hard times worldwide, for nobody is a secret that there is a strong oppression to preach the true gospel, unfortunately he has had to live the persecuting debastadora to our brothers of the congo. The Christian foundation of the Congo affirms that they are living a "Fire Test" in the country.

It is so much the love you feel for God that many have decided to give their lives without fear of death. Nearly three million people have shouted "help" to the international media, located in the Kasai area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Through Caritas International, a confederation that brings together more than a hundred humanitarian organizations around the world, have declared that more than three million people are going hungry, including 400 thousand children suffering from acute dusnitricion, it is an unfortunate fact since The main source of the problem has been the presidential mandate that attempts against the Christian church.

The Congo is being the protagonist of a true civil war and Christians have become the preferred preferential target since the church went to demand democracy in the country. About 1.5 million Congolese fled the country last year, after that President Joseph Kabila refused to leave office at the end of his term in December 2016.
This dituation that they are living has been particularly difficult for the children who are forced and forced by the militias to take up arms and shed blood forcing them without measure to leave aside that innocence that characterizes them and filling their hearts with hatred and evil.

The government says that the conflicts are ethnic, a recurring problem in the country and that the president was left in charge to prevent the situation from worsening. However, Christians denounce that there are whole villages being burned and people being executed.

There are several accounts of the "terrible situation" of the Congolese Christians, many being persecuted by the military forces because of their demonstrations calling for free and fair elections in the country.

With a Catholic majority, many political issues in the Congo go through the hands of the bishops. Catholic churches had been promoting peaceful protests, but on the first day of the year, police invaded temples, threw tear gas bombs and arrested priests.

The balance of the attacks were seven dead, including children, in the first week of January. The government blocked the Internet and established barriers and checkpoints throughout the capital, Kinshasa. Citizens who used visible religious symbols, such as crosses, were arrested at checkpoints.

There are stories of Christians being executed in the streets, and hanged while kneeling, singing hymns and making prayers. they are going through times that were prophesied in the bible.

"They lost absolutely everything," said Juliette Maquart, of Caritas, about the refugees. "Their houses no longer exist, they were looted and burned, along with hospitals and schools."

"Now I only have two children, of five I had, what I'm going to do now? I feel a lot of sadness in my soul" said the Christian Denise Ndekenya widow who shares her tragedy explaining that most of her family was murdered and her husband was beheaded later that the militia attacked his village last year.
