Alert has the privilege of being on the front line equipping church leaders and members with the ability to transform their local communities through leadership development and economic empowerment. The desperate communities of the war-torn Congo are looking for a new model of leadership that transcends partisan interests and personal honor and gratification. The church can provide this, if only they will embrace Jesus’ model of servant leadership. With servant leadership, we can build strong reconciling communities and address Congo’s real problems that seek to denigrate, dehumanize and thereby destroy communities through: Extreme poverty, Political and civil instability, Violence and poor healthcare system, Substandard housing and malnutrition which dramatically affect education achievement.
