Congo DR’s ‘Bilenge ya Mwinda’ introduced to leadership skills


Over sixty young men from the Diocese of Lisala, in Congo DR, have met at Saint Walburga parish, in the town of Yambuku for their annual assembly. The gathering  brought together youth who are members of the Congolese Catholic movement, “Bilenge ya Mwinda,”  which means “Young People of the Light.”

During the week-long assembly, Bilenge ya Mwinda were given training in leadership skills.

Under  the patronage of the new Bishop of Lisala, Ernest Ngboko Ngombe, the diocesan assembly was animated by Fr. Edward Litambala, a priest of Lisala Diocese. The youth discussed pertinent issues important to their spiritual life such as, "Growing up in the faith" and in view of Congo’s pending national elections, the youth were introduced to “civic education and the promotion of citizen participation in the Republic of Congo.”

Bilenge ya Mwinda was founded in 1972 by the late Bishop Ignace Matondo Kwa Nzambi of Molegbe Diocese in Congo DR.
