Engage Congo is located in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo. Site Directors, Bill and Sonia Shaw are 30-year veteran missionaries in Africa. With Engage Congo, students can take the next step in the journey, and see what it takes to live in a cross-cultural environment. Students continue college courses online, learn a foreign language-French, follow a plan of spiritual formation, and develop a ministry platform with the missionary team. Students learn what best practices are in a cross-cultural setting and begin to see how God can use their skills, gifts, and personal ministry.

“Our vision in the DRC is to come alongside our Congolese colleagues to develop viable ministries that contribute to the long-term success of local churches.” – Bill and Sonia Shaw
