2025: Year of the Lord’s Jubilee for the Democratic Republic of Congo, such is the prophetic call launched by Reverend Dr. André-Gédéon Bokundoa, national president of the Church of Christ in Congo (ECC). In a pastoral letter vibrant with convictions, the latter announces a program of building peace and living together in order to inaugurate a new era for the country.
Celebrating the Lord’s Jubilee in 2025 is not limited to a simple religious commemoration, but has a crucial social and political dimension for the DRC. Through the prism of the Bible and Psalm 133, Pastor Bokundoa insists on the importance of unity in diversity, the only way to blessing and eternal life for the Congolese nation.
The socio-spiritual contract proposed by the President of the ECC aims to eradicate the scourges that have plagued Congolese society: tribalism, nepotism, selfishness, lies, non-compliance with texts, urban banditry, conflicts and the plundering of resources. It is a call for everyone’s commitment to the common well-being, to a patriotic surge in the face of current and future challenges.
More than a simple pastoral declaration, this call resonates like a prophecy of profound transformation for the DRC. The restoration of divine order and the search for the Lord’s will for the country are at the heart of this approach. It is about returning to the fundamentals, reconnecting with the values of love of neighbor, patriotism and consensus to build a better future.
In this pivotal year, the President of the ECC encourages everyone to become an actor of peace, a bearer of light for their country. It is through the communion of hearts and minds, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that the DRC will be able to experience a true renaissance. Drawing on the country’s spiritual and historical heritage, he calls for a collective commitment to peace, justice and progress.
Thus, the year 2025 promises to be a decisive turning point for the Democratic Republic of Congo, an opportunity for reconciliation, reconstruction and renewal. Reverend Dr Bokundoa’s message resonates as a call to action, responsibility and solidarity. By fully embracing this year of the Lord’s Jubilee, the DRC can open a new chapter in its history, marked by peace, prosperity and fraternity.
