It is with regret that we announce you the heartbreaking news of the death of one of the pioneers of Christ for Congo Ministries, Little Brother Caleb Roberts, the son of Gary and Wendy
Roberts. Caleb is one of the five children who were part of the first trip of the Christ for Congo Ministries to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), back in July 2007. Even if he was only two years old, his fearless and loving personality invited several hundreds of children to our programs in Lubero, DRC. When children followed him, in order to play with him, their parents followed the children, until we had hundreds of people attending our evangelistic meetings. We mourn the great lost of an important missionary.

God bless you all. Let’s continue praying and serving the Lord, because the night has been long; the Great Dawn draws nigh. Let’s be ready to meet Little Brother Caleb again for Eternity.
Please post your comments here that Brother Gary and Sister Wendy can read later. They are not yet reachable by email yet, since the incident happened last week. Thank you all.
As a mother, I deeply feel for Wendy. I cannot even describe with words how much pain she must be going through right now. I'm sharing your tears and your heartaches, Wendy. I'm continually lifting you and Gary up to His throne pleading for inner peace and strength that He alone can give. Even though we are not to mourn like the unbelievers who do not have hope, still, as human beings our hearts throb with the undescribable pain of losing a love one, much more a child. And I believe Jesus understands as He mourned too, when He was here on earth. The wonderful thing is, we have this HOPE that burns within our hearts--HOPE in the second coming of Jesus when we will see Caleb rise up and your family will be reunited forever and ever. Bon courage, my dear sister...it will not be too long from now...Caleb will be in your arms again...
