Bishop Ise is in charge of the Anglican diocese of North Kivu north of Goma. The diocese runs 120 schools, 20 health centres and a dental clinic. The involvement of the church reminds us of the role churches have played before we in Canada grew so (over) dependent on the government. He has a personal passion for working with the military as he told stories of how he has preached to thousands of soldiers with many weeping and asking for forgiveness.
We were blessed to meet Bishop Ise as our first stop this morning. Bishop Ise first met Mama Dorcas in 2006 when she was caring for many orphans in a small house nearby and he started helping her. He is now the local president of the organizing committee for the orphanage.
