Meet Jacques Lomande, Regional Manager
We are happy to introduce to you Jacques Lomande. Jacques has agreed to serve as PCP’s new Gemena-based Regional Manager. Jacques, a lay leader in the CEUM (the Covenant Church of Congo), will be working to facilitate connections between PCP and our project partners. He brings a remarkable depth of managerial experience both in the public and private sectors. He holds the Congolese equivalent of an MBA with an emphasis in development. Most recently, Jacques led World Vision’s human resources department. Prior to that, he was the Coordinator of Development for the CEUM, and has also worked as a work inspector for Equateur’s provincial government. Along the way, Jacques has served as a professor at both high school and university levels, teaching business, accounting, and French. Jacques’ professional competence is matched by his calm, affirming presence and a heart for his community, church, and family. His gentle confidence makes him easy to be around, even when situations become difficult. We are very grateful for Jacques and his willingness to serve with us. Welcome, Jacques!

Highrock Acton holds Couples for Congo Fundraiser Dinner & Dance
Highrock Acton Covenant Church in Acton, MA recently held a dinner and dance as a fundraiser for their support of the Kanana Clinic, through the Congo Clinic Initiative.
Pastor Will Barnett says, "We had about 75 people attend and raised a $1,000. Mostly folks were from our church or one of our network congregations, but we had several people invite family or friends from the community. We were also able to raffle off items contributed from a number of local businesses. It was a great community-building, partner-building, invitational event while raising awareness and investment in the Congo Clinic Initiative. We’ll definitely do it again next year, but are already thinking about how we can improve it and make it even more successful!"
