Stories of Transformation

Pastor Samuel Bolingo, a CMI graduate from rural DR Congo, has become a remarkable example of transformation and community impact. After completing his training, he returned to a struggling congregation and, through renewed vision and practical skills, turned it into a vibrant center of hope. He launched a farming cooperative that now provides food security for 120 families and established a school that serves 200 children who previously had limited access to education.

Under his leadership, the church has grown from 30 members to more than 500, with many people sharing testimonies of new faith, restored families, and renewed purpose. Pastor Samuel’s ministry demonstrates how equipped leaders can bring both spiritual and social transformation to their communities.
