Join host Jed Doherty as he explores two remarkable children's books that prove storytelling is about much more than just words on a page. In this heartwarming episode, we meet two incredible authors who transform personal experiences into powerful narratives that educate, inspire, and connect families. First, meet Michelle Krumenacher, author of "Rocky's Courageous Rescue," a delightful picture book born from a family adventure in Kenya. While exploring Lake Nakuru, Michelle's son discovered rock hyraxes - adorable creatures most people have never heard of. What started as a bedtime story quickly became a published book that teaches children about courage, resilience, and embracing their unique qualities. Michelle's journey is more than just a publishing success story. Having lived in Burundi, one of the world's poorest countries, she and her family now work with refugees in Oklahoma, teaching English and spreading compassion. Her book reflects this spirit of understanding and connection. Next, Victoria Smith shares "Liliana's Match: Finding Bella," a touching story about a young girl with ADHD and her supportive canine companion. Inspired by her daughter's beloved beagle, Victoria crafted a narrative that helps children feel seen and understood. The book explores how animals can support kids with ADHD and anxiety, promoting empathy and awareness. Both authors demonstrate the incredible power of storytelling. They show how personal experiences, family support, and a commitment to understanding others can create meaningful children's literature. Their books aren't just entertainment - they're tools for learning, growing, and connecting. Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who loves a good story, this episode offers inspiration and hope. It reminds us that every story matters, and sometimes the most powerful narratives come from the most unexpected places.

Have western Christians become so comfortable that we no longer exercise faith? How can we renew a radical trust in God's provision and protection without abandoning our wisdom and responsibility? In this special episode, Aaron and Andy are joined by the well-known missionary and podcaster (and long-time Pod of the Gaps fan!) Simon Guillebaud, who spent many years working in the warzone of Burundi with his wife and young family. Simon recounts the experiences and inspirations that shaped him, and reflects on the challenges and wisdom he has learned along the way in seeking to maintain a truly radical faith in our walk with God.

« Je suis un homme du sérail, mais pas un apparatchik », affirme le Congolais de Brazzaville, Firmin Édouard Matoko, qui est haut fonctionnaire à l'Unesco depuis trente ans et qui brigue lundi prochain la succession de la Française Audrey Azoulay au poste de directeur général de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'ducation, la science et la culture. RFI a également sollicité une interview auprès de l'autre candidat, l'ancien ministre égyptien de la Culture, Khaled El-Enany, qui, pour l'instant, n'a pas donné suite à notre requête. De passage à Paris, Firmin Édouard Matoko répond à Christophe Boisbouvier.  RFI : Quelle est la vision de l'Unesco que vous porterez si vous êtes élu ? Firmin Édouard Matoko : Alors, moi je pense que ce qu'il faut apporter comme réponse, c'est très vite des solutions pragmatiques à ce qui est reproché au système des Nations unies, son inefficacité, son extrême bureaucratisation et son extrême politisation. Alors, il n'y a pas assez d'opérations à vos yeux, vous voulez dire que, par exemple, l'opération de réhabilitation de Mossoul au nord de l'Irak par madame Audrey Azoulay, c'est bien, mais ce n'est pas suffisant ? Non, c'est une opération d'ailleurs qui restera, je pense, dans les annales de l'Unesco, comme on en a connu pour Abou Simbel, Tombouctou, tous les sites du patrimoine que nous avons restaurés dans le monde. Non, je pense qu'on peut faire plus, on peut faire mieux. Moi, ce que je propose, c'est une réflexion sur la mission et le mandat de l'Unesco. C'est une agence technique, intellectuelle, ce n'est pas une agence conçue pour faire de la médiation politique. C'est une agence qui doit proposer des solutions techniques à des situations extrêmement complexes du point de vue politique. On l'a vu avec la guerre en Ukraine par exemple, on le voit à Gaza, on le voit dans des conflits qu'aujourd'hui on oublie malheureusement, au Soudan, en Haïti, en Afghanistan. Vous dites que l'Unesco manque de ressources. Or, ce n'est pas de chance, mais cette année, les États-Unis ont annoncé leur retrait. Ils contribuent à 20 %. Est-ce que vous avez quelque chose à répondre à Donald Trump qui dit que l'Unesco est trop politisée ? Écoutez, c'est une organisation universelle où toutes les voix ont leur importance. Et c'est une organisation intellectuelle, donc, nous, on admet la contradiction, le débat contradictoire. Je crois que ce qui est important, c'est qu'on arrive à un consensus sur cette thématique majeure. Nous ne sommes pas là pour trancher en faveur d'un courant ou d'un autre, mais nous donnons des espaces d'expression aux États membres, à la société civile sur des sujets majeurs. Donc, cette organisation, c'est un espace de dialogue et de solidarité. Vous êtes un haut fonctionnaire de l'Unesco depuis plus de 30 ans. Que répondez-vous à ceux qui disent que vous êtes un apparatchik ? Ça existe encore ce mot « apparatchik » ? Je ne savais pas ça… Enfin… Disons que justement, du fait que je sois un homme du sérail, je préfère, qui a la connaissance de la maison, qui a été à des instances de direction au cours des quinze dernières années, je sais ce que l'on peut proposer, je sais où se trouvent les changements possibles et je sais ce qui peut se faire immédiatement. Alors votre adversaire, l'Égyptien Khaled El-Enany, il dit que lui, il vient de l'extérieur de cette organisation et qu'il a une expérience de terrain, puisqu'il a été ministre de la Culture de son pays. Est-ce que ce n'est pas une différence entre vous deux ?   Moi, j'ai été ministre des Relations extérieures, l'équivalent, je ne sais pas, de l'Unesco, pendant quinze ans, et de la priorité Afrique. J'ai visité, j'ai parcouru plus de 100 pays en apportant des solutions en temps de paix, en temps de conflit, en Irak, en Jordanie, en Syrie, en Haïti, au Cambodge, aux grands moments des conflits, en Somalie, au Soudan. Donc, je crois que je sais ce que c'est que le multilatéralisme. Nous avons proposé des solutions au Rwanda après le génocide, au Burundi, au Congo. Et donc je pense que c'est réduire mon expérience en parlant d'apparatchik. Vous n'êtes candidat que depuis six mois, alors que votre adversaire, il l'est depuis plus de deux ans et il a recueilli le soutien de nombreux pays dans le monde arabe, en Europe, etc. Est-ce que vous n'allez pas à cette bataille avec un gros handicap ? Non, moi je ne crois pas. Je peux vous dire que moi, je suis candidat depuis 30 ans, depuis le premier jour que je suis rentré à l'Unesco. J'ai eu l'ambition un jour, et je suis modestement un modèle pour beaucoup de collègues, parce qu'on peut effectivement concevoir qu'un ressortissant d'un petit pays du Sud, sans être péjoratif, formé à l'intérieur de l'Unesco, peut accéder aux instances dirigeantes. On n'a pas besoin d'avoir été ministre de son pays pour diriger cette organisation. Et je ne crois pas avoir été en retard. Certains sont trop en avance. Mais je crois en la sagesse, en la lucidité des Etats membres pour choisir le meilleur candidat pour cette organisation. Mais l'Union africaine a déjà donné sa préférence, c'est pour votre adversaire… L'Union africaine a entériné une candidature, mais selon la loi, les Etats membres, ici à l'Unesco, ne sont pas appelés à élire un candidat de l'Union africaine. L'Union africaine ne vote pas, sinon on aurait eu un candidat du Mercosur, un candidat de l'Union européenne. Et je pense que j'ai légitimement le droit de me présenter candidat. Et quand on vous dit que l'Égyptien Khaled El-Enany part favori, qu'est-ce que vous répondez ?   Ça ne me décourage pas, croyez-moi. Moi, je ne suis pas un candidat d'une région, d'un pays. Je suis candidat de toutes les nations, de tous les peuples. Et j'y vais avec la conviction parce que j'ai la passion de cette organisation et cette institution.

Esta semana, en una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, destacamos el recientemente liberado registro en vivo de Peter Gabriel, “Live At WOMAD 1982”, histórica grabación que documenta la actuación del cantante en primer Festival WOMAD realizado en Reino Unido. El Festival de Música y Danza del Mundo que Gabriel ayudó a organizar y del cual fue su cara más reconocible, se celebró en el Shepton Mallet Playground del condado inglés de Somerset, en junio de 1982. La banda del cantante en aquel momento estaba formada por David Rhodes en guitarra, John Giblin en bajo, Larry Fast en sintetizadores, Jerry Marotta en batería y Peter Hammill en guitarra y voz. El repertorio incluía siete de las ocho canciones que conformarían el álbum “Peter Gabriel 4 (Security)”, que se lanzaría dos meses después y que incluía temas como ‘Shock The Monkey', ‘San Jacincto', ‘I Have The Touch' y varios más, además de dos temas extra, entre ellos, el icónico ‘Biko' de Peter Gabriel 3” (1980). “Recuerdo muy bien este concierto”, señala Gabriel. “Tocamos una mezcla de material antiguo y nuevo. Normalmente me pondría muy nervioso al tocar algo de esto por primera vez, pero estaba muy preocupado por la organización de nuestro primer festival WOMAD y el posible desastre financiero que se avecinaba”. El músico agrega que “debido a que WOMAD era único por su enfoque en la música y el arte de todo el mundo, y por su mezcla con rock y jazz, nadie sabía cuánta gente podría asistir y habíamos sobreestimado enormemente nuestro atractivo. Pero quienes decidieron ir a WOMAD y a su peculiar y maravilloso cartel eran personas abiertas, atrevidas y curiosas: un público excepcional. Fue un concierto emblemático y vanguardista para mí, tanto personal como musicalmente, y me trae muchos recuerdos”. Además de Gabriel, el evento contó con actuaciones de Peter Hammill, Simple Minds, The Beat, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Chieftans, Drummers of Burundi, Imrat Khan y muchos más. El festival, como es bien sabido, atravesó dificultades económicas, sobre todo debido a la falta de transporte adecuado al recinto. "Al principio, la mayoría de los profesionales de la industria musical nos decían que no teníamos ninguna posibilidad de hacer realidad este sueño; teníamos el maravilloso e ingenuo optimismo de los jóvenes, y estábamos convencidos de que demostraríamos a todos los cínicos que estaban equivocados", añade Gabriel. "Sin embargo, al final del primer festival, quedó claro que habíamos tenido éxito artístico, pero no financiero... pero eso es para otra historia". Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Dans ce numéro de Capsule santé, on parle de la solitude qui affecte tant les personnes âgées que les plus jeunes. Anna Carthaus du département des sciences de la Deutsche Welle a interrogé à ce sujet le Dr Sonia Kanekatoua-Agbolo Noamessi, psychiatre à Lomé, au Togo. Dans la seconde partie du magazine, nous irons au Burundi où les autorités tentent de réorganiser le secteur de la pharmacie.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33). This verse is well known. It is frequently used in motivational speeches encouraging Christians to pursue the things of God at church and on mission or service trips. But I wonder how often it is used to launch Christians into the daily stuff of life. How many of us wrestle with its applications in the hustle and bustle of the day? In Matthew 6, Jesus offers commentary on a few of the common spiritual disciplines of his time: giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting. Then he encourages his disciples to lay up treasures in heaven rather than on earth, and rounds it off with this, “do not worry.” What should we not worry about? “Your life”, he says. Clothing, food, shelter, etc. Really? Here is the thing, says Jesus, your heavenly father is more than capable and willing to care for you. Look at the birds of the air and the flowers of the field. Do they rush around worrying? Nope. Your father cares for them. And if he cares for them, he will surely care for you. So, stop worrying already. When we give up worry, we create space to pursue the things of God and his kingdom. When our main concern is no longer about making a buck, when we trust that God will provide for us, we can pay attention to other things and other people. At our church, we support a ministry called Discipling Marketplace Leaders. After this teaching was brought to Burundi, one of the pastors summarized the change he saw among Christians, “They realize that when they said “yes” to Jesus, they weren't enlisting HIM to their cause, but He was enlisting them to HIS cause” (DML Newsletter, September 1, 2025). Jesus mentions that non-believers run around worrying about their lives, but children of the heavenly Father do not need to. He cares for his own. As you go about daily tasks and work, pause to pray the Lord's Prayer. Ask the Holy Spirit to keep those phrases in your consciousness. In what situations are you most likely to begin worrying? Prepare for those situations. Be ready to do something different. How might God be calling you to seek his kingdom today? And how do we learn to worry less? Not by trying really hard not to worry. But, by paying attention to God. Go with this blessing: Wherever God takes you today, may He fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit and that you may live carefully—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.

Burundi sufre también parte del conflicto en la vecina República Democrática del Congo. Más de 71.000 congoleños han huido de los combates entre el Ejército y los rebeldes del M23, respaldados por Ruanda, desde enero. Muchos han cruzado a Burundi, en la mayor afluencia de refugiados que el país ha visto en décadas. El drama y caos de la guerra ha separado a numerosas familias.

Sarah Davis joined me on the podcast almost two years ago to share her plans to become the first woman to paddle the length of the Nile river.A journey of 6,853km / 4,200mi from the source of the Nile in Rwanda, all the way to Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast in Egypt, at the time we first spoke Sarah had anticipated the expedition would start in January 2018 and take 7 months.So Sarah returns to the podcast this week to share how it unfolded!Spoiler alert!Things didn't all go according to plan and two key decisions meant that Sarah wasn't able to achieve her original goal to paddle the length of the Nile.However, she has become the first woman to lead an expedition along the Nile.In this conversation, we discuss:- how she made the decision where to start her expedition; a harder decision with more options than you might think,- what she felt visiting the source of the Nile in Rwanda after 3+ years of planning,- the very angry hippo tried to flip and then bite a hole in their inflatable raft just 6 days into the expedition,- how she was arrested and detained for 3 days in Burundi,- the point at which she (and her team) decided to catch a ferry on Lake Victoria which meant she wouldn't achieve her original goal to paddle the entire length of the river (and how disconnecting from ego and exploring her ‘why' made the decision somewhat easier),- why she cried in a hotel restaurant the day after she finished her expedition, and- whether the expedition feels like unfinished business.

Huduma hizo  zimekuwa changamoto kubwa katika kambi za wakimbizi zikichangiwa na ukata wa ufadhili. Flora Nducha na taarifa zaidi (TAARIFA YA FLORA NDUCHA)Vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe vilipoibuka Burundi mwaka 2015, na baadaye mapigano kuighubika upya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo DRC, maelfu ya  watu walikimbia na kuvuka mpaka kuingia Tanzania. Leo, wengi wao wanaishi katika kambi za wakimbizi mkoani Kigoma kama vile Mtendeli, Nduta, na Nyarugusu.Lakini maisha kambini hayajakuwa rahisi. Kwa ufadhili mdogo, familia zinapata shida kupata huduma za msingi kama maji safi, makazi, na elimu.Hapo ndipo Shirika la UNHCR, na Baraza la Wakimbizi la Norway NRC, wanapoingia.

I just took the next step that the Lord showed me.” “There's something that's healing when you recognize the struggle people have been through.” “It's really inspiring to be in these spaces where people do have resources but they're taking the humble perspective of ‘I've been entrusted with this, I really want to honor God.'” “If I wasn't in this space where I was continually being challenged, I think it would be easy to just fall into the culture and the ways of the world.” “Too often, we only focus on our philanthropy and we don't think about what we're doing with our investment dollars, and oftentimes, the investment dollars are undoing the very things that we're trying to do with our philanthropy. God calls us to steward all of what He's entrusted to us in a way that honors Him.” Links from the Show BraveWorks (formerly Fashion and Compassion) Restoration Residences Cru Compassion International ALARM – African Leadership and Reconciliation Ministries Julie Wilson, President of Women Doing Well (see our past interview here) Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounders Todd Harper and David Wills and CEO, April Chapman) Faith Driven Entrepreneur  Faith Driven Investor Faith Driven Foundation Course Praxis Praxis Capital Fellowship The Gathering Stewards Not Owners by Dana and Bill Wichterman (see our past interview here) Impact Foundation (see our interview with Founder, Aimee Minnich) The Table (via Impact Foundation) National Christian Foundation (see our interview with President Emeritus, David Wills) Infinite Giving The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group We Want to Hear from You!

Send us a textIn this Tech Tuesday episode, Dr. Donna Brezinski, founder and CEO of Little Sparrows Technologies, joins the show to talk about the BiliHut — a portable, high-intensity phototherapy device designed to treat neonatal jaundice with both clinical effectiveness and practical usability in mind.A neonatologist by training, Dr. Brezinski explains how her clinical experiences led to the development of the BiliHut, which delivers uniform phototherapy across the baby's body while solving key issues like positioning errors, thermal regulation, and access for breastfeeding. Unlike traditional overhead lights or fiber-optic pads, the BiliHut is engineered for both hospital and home use, with versions adaptable to low-resource settings and unreliable power grids.The conversation covers the physics behind its design, recent clinical data on treatment time, and deployment strategies from rural U.S. areas to clinics in Mongolia and Burundi. Dr. Brezinski also outlines how clinicians and families in the U.S. can access the device through durable medical equipment providers, visiting nurse agencies, or hospital DME programs.More information about the BiliHut and its availability can be found at littlesparrowstech.com.

Shane Claiborne's deepest conviction is that we are meant to live ‘as if Jesus meant the things he said'. So for him that has meant living in community in inner-city Philadelphia for a few decades now, having picked up some lessons from a stint working under Mother Teresa in Calcutta. His activism has involved confronting various systemic injustices and speaking up for and standing alongside those whose voices aren't being heard. It's a powerful and challenging podcast.Watch this episode on our YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/LinAnXuxyNoCheck out shaneclaiborne.com and redletterchristians.org ---

Über die Hilfe der Caritas Österreich in dem ostafrikanischen Staat und warum Ziegen dabei essentiell sind.

Have you ever considered that the life God has prepared for you might be far greater than anything you've imagined? That His plan for you might stretch beyond the edges of your current understanding, experience, or even desire? Scripture says: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians 2:9) Today, I share a story from Burundi, Africa—where we visited a remote mountain tribe called the Twa. They lived in grass huts with no electricity, no access to the outside world, no understanding of life beyond survival. We brought them goats and chickens—a gift that felt like a luxury SUV to them. When I tried to explain life in Manhattan—living in towers, riding elevators—they looked at me with confusion and even pity. The tribal chief said, "We'll pray for you. We wouldn't want to live like that." Why? Because it was beyond their frame of reference. They couldn't conceive of it—so they rejected it. And we do the same thing with God. When the Holy Spirit tries to speak to us about His calling, His promises, His purpose, we often respond with, "That's too far. That's not for me." We limit the Holy One of Israel. We live at the border of unbelief—not because God's plans aren't real, but because we can't picture ourselves stepping into them. Friend, ask the Holy Spirit today to enlarge your vision. Let Him take you farther than your skill set, your past, or your pain have ever allowed you to imagine. Let's stop saying, "Not me. Not here. Not now." And instead start praying: "God, expand my understanding. Take me farther. Do through me what only You can do."

Donna spent 25 years in various countries in Asia, including warzones. Her stories of listening to the ‘inner voice' of God to guide and draw people into His Kingdom are beautiful, instructive and challenging to us in how we seek to share our faith. “God, what do you want me to know in this situation” is a simple (and profound) prayer, whether being held at gunpoint in the extreme, or whenever fear creeps into our day-to-day activities. It's a great episode! ▶️ Watch it on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/OJzGMrdyw2cDonna and husband Jamie founded www.identityexchange.com and I can't recommend it highly enough in helping us to live fearlessly out of our true identity.

John is a fearless follower of Jesus who gets bombarded daily with death threats from across the world for his outspoken witness for Christ. His back story was that he had misgivings with the faith of his birth when on pilgrimage from Yemen to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. As a disillusioned but spiritually searching agnostic, his convoluted travels led him to meeting a Syrian refugee in Greece with a tattooed cross on his wrist. That launched him on a journey to passionate faith in Christ, not as a prophet but as his Lord and Saviour. John's meteoric rise as an influencer on social media has led thousands of Muslims around the world to encounter and embrace a personal living relationship with Jesus. His straight-talking boldness and courage are a real challenge to Western Christians lacking in gospel confidence.Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CS7UiKZOBlUCheck out and contact John through johnghanim.comInstagram: @johnghanim | Tiktok: @johnghanim0 | youtube.com/@johnghanim0 Visit here to support John's ministry.---

As we continue featuring powerful messages from CMDA's 2025 National Convention, today's episode brings a moving plenary address from Dr. Eric McLaughlin, a family medicine missionary with Serge, professor at Hope Africa University in Burundi, and author of Promises in the Dark. With deep honesty and insight, Dr. McLaughlin explores what it means to bring healing in a broken world. He speaks to the tensions many Christian healthcare professionals feel – between justice and joy, suffering and hope, burnout and purpose. If you've ever felt weary or wondered if your calling still matters, this message is for you.

Ces dernières semaines, la politique de Donald Trump a eu des impacts majeurs sur la RDC, tant sur le plan économie avec la fin de l'USAID - Kinshasa était le premier pays francophone d'Afrique récipiendaire de cette aide – que sur le plan sécuritaire et politique. La République démocratique du Congo (RDC) et le Rwanda ont signé un accord de paix avec l'ambition déclarée de mettre fin au conflit dans l'Est de la RDC, le 27 juin à Washington, sous l'égide des États-Unis. Une diplomatie très active donc. Et sa première actrice sur le terrain à Kinshasa, l'ambassadrice Lucy Tamlyn, fait le point sur ces sujets avec Charlotte Cosset. RFI : Les États-Unis ont démantelé l'USAID. La fin de cette aide est un coup dur pour les ONG. À quoi va ressembler désormais l'aide américaine en RDC ? L'important, c'est que l'assistance américaine ne s'arrête pas. Elle est maintenant coordonnée par le département d'État. Et cette transition structurelle permet une meilleure cohérence entre la diplomatie et l'assistance. Évidemment, sur le terrain, il y avait des ajustements, mais nos programmes de santé et de réponse aux urgences se poursuivent. Ce sont des domaines prioritaires dans notre engagement bilatéral et nous restons le plus grand bailleur en RDC. Est-ce que vous sauriez, après ces réajustements, nous dire à combien s'élève l'aide américaine ? Ce que je peux dire, c'est que les États-Unis restent engagés à soutenir la santé, y compris la réponse pour les personnes vivant avec le VIH-Sida et les réponses d'urgence là où les besoins sont les plus urgents et où se trouvent les plus vulnérables. Je ne peux pas donner un chiffre exact, évidemment, c'est moins qu'auparavant et nous sommes aussi en train de faire une évaluation de l'assistance. Donc, ça va être plus clair dans les mois à venir, quelles seront les formes et les montants de l'assistance. Fin juin toujours, madame l'Ambassadrice, s'est tenue en Angola, le sommet États-Unis Afrique. Que faut-il en retenir ? C'était une grande réussite. Presque 2,5 milliards de dollars en nouveaux accords et engagements qui ont été annoncés. C'est aussi une opportunité pour expliquer que nous donnons la priorité aux échanges commerciaux plutôt qu'à l'aide et tout en encourageant les partenariats pour stimuler une croissance fondée sur l'investissement. Je peux ajouter aussi qu'il y a eu la réunion de cinq présidents africains à la Maison Blanche. Cet événement se veut le premier d'une série de discussions continues que nous voulons entamer avec les dirigeants africains. Et cela veut dire que c'est vraiment le début d'un engagement beaucoup plus étroit qu'auparavant. Parmi les questions abordées en Angola, celle du corridor de Lobito, qui est stratégique pour la RDC, cette voie ferrée qui relie déjà en partie la façade maritime de l'Angola aux zones minières en RDC de Kolwezi. Quels sont les engagements financiers américains dans ce domaine et dans quel but ? Les États-Unis investissent dans ce corridor parce qu'il représente un levier de transformation économique. Bien sûr, il y a des bénéfices pour nos deux pays. Le projet de Lobito, concrètement, on en est où côté congolais ? Nous sommes en pleine discussion avec le gouvernement pour connaître leurs intentions. Il s'agit de trouver une forme de concession qui va être attirante pour le secteur privé. Parce que ce qui est différent par rapport à ce corridor, c'est que le financement va directement au secteur privé. Ce n'est pas de gouvernement à gouvernement. On serait plutôt sur l'option de la réhabilitation de la voie existante ou sur le projet de construction du nouveau tronçon qui avait été envisagé ? À ce stade, c'est plutôt la réhabilitation du tronçon existant. Nous sommes vraiment dans les étapes préliminaires, mais nous sommes très étroitement liés avec l'Union européenne. L'Union européenne est très impliquée. Lobito, c'est un projet très stratégique. Il doit permettre l'exportation des minerais des régions enclavées de la RDC vers l'Angola. Et en avril, par ailleurs, lors de la visite de Massad Boulos à Kinshasa, le président Tshisekedi a annoncé l'existence d'un accord minier entre la RDC et les États-Unis. Est-ce que vous pouvez nous en dire un peu plus ? Quels sont les minerais congolais les plus stratégiques pour le marché américain ? Il y en a plusieurs, mais évidemment, le cobalt et le cuivre sont importants pour toutes les économies industrialisées. On parle du lithium également ? Oui le lithium aussi. Ce que je peux dire par rapport à cet accord minier, c'est plutôt qu'il s'agit de plusieurs accords. Ce sont des accords qui visent à améliorer le climat des affaires. Parce que même s'il y a une ouverture claire pour les sociétés occidentales, l'expérience ici montre qu'il y avait des obstacles pour l'investissement. Donc, ce que nous cherchons à faire, c'est d'améliorer le climat des affaires en travaillant étroitement avec le gouvernement, avec les institutions. Et ça va donner le feu vert pour les sociétés américaines de venir ici investir. Donald Trump a obtenu un premier accord entre Kinshasa et Kigali pour faire cesser le conflit à l'Est. C'est sans précédent. Comment la diplomatie américaine est-elle parvenue à un tel résultat ? Après trente ans de conflit, il est vraiment temps que la souffrance cesse et que la souveraineté et l'intégrité territoriale congolaise soient respectées. Donc, voici pourquoi les États-Unis ont insisté pour que cet accord de paix vienne avec un calendrier, un plan et des témoins. Le processus de mise en œuvre a bel et bien commencé avec la création d'un mécanisme de sécurité conjoint entre la RDC et le Rwanda. Et ce mécanisme coordonne la neutralisation des FDLR et le retrait progressif des troupes rwandaises. C'est un accord réaliste fondé sur des engagements réciproques. Et je voulais aussi dire que cet accord est différent, car nous avons clairement dit qu'il y aurait des conséquences si les engagements ne sont pas respectés. Cet accord a aussi de nouveaux aspects. En plus des engagements sécuritaires, il fournit l'incitation d'un cadre d'intégration économique régionale. Vous parlez de conséquences. Quel type de conséquences ? Les conséquences peuvent être les mesures punitives, par exemple les sanctions ou les autres leviers diplomatiques. Un exemple des aspects positifs des propos incitatifs : il y a un projet hydroélectrique de 760 millions de dollars qui reliera le Burundi, le Rwanda et la RDC. C'est un projet qui existe depuis longtemps, pas encore mis en œuvre, qui a juste besoin de la paix pour démarrer. Et donc ça, c'est un projet sur lequel vous êtes prêt à investir, si l'accord tient ? Une société américaine fait partie de ce projet, il y a plusieurs pays, plusieurs sociétés. C'est un projet assez complexe qui lie les trois pays. Et ça dépend du mécanisme qui va (met en oeuvre) l'accord des trois pays. (C'est un exemple) de l'importance d'arriver à une paix durable qui va permettre la confiance nécessaire entre ces trois pays, et donner le feu vert pour que ce projet puisse commencer. Vous l'avez dit, le suivi de la mise en œuvre de cet accord va être crucial. Jusqu'où les États-Unis sont prêts à s'impliquer dans ce suivi ? En fait, les États-Unis font partie, comme observateurs, du mécanisme de coordination sécuritaire et aussi du mécanisme de suivi. Et ce comité, qui inclut aussi le Qatar et Togo, assure un accompagnement constant de la mise en œuvre. Dans le cadre de cet accord. Une nouvelle rencontre est prévue prochainement à Washington avec les trois présidents. Que faut-il en attendre ? Le président Trump a hâte de (recevoir) ces deux présidents à Washington pour signer un accord de paix entre président Kagamé et président Tshisekedi. L'objet de cette nouvelle rencontre, c'est de signer l'accord au niveau présidentiel, mais aussi d'ouvrir la possibilité pour ce cadre d'engagement économique et (d'inaugurer) un avenir plus prospère pour la région et pour les deux pays.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, 'Rock Solid,' by discussing the importance of applying the Word to our lives. As followers of Christ, it's essential to read the Word, but we also have to take those words off the page and bring them to action. In a further discussion of the Bible, we were joined by Dr. Timothy Paul Jones to explore the legitimacy of the Word and how we know it's the truth. Dr. Jones serves as Vice President for Doctoral Studies and as Chair of the Department of Apologetics, Ethics, and Philosophy at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He also serves as one of the pastors at Sojourn Church Midtown in Louisville. He also cohosts an apologetics podcast called The Apologetics Podcast. We then turned to the phone lines to hear how our listeners apply the truth of the Word to their daily lives. Then we had Simon Guillebaud join us to discuss his ministry in Burundi, East Africa, and the importance of a God-serving community in fostering spiritual growth. Simon is the Founder and International Director of Great Lakes Outreach, which works for the spiritual and physical development of the people of Burundi. He also partners with local Christian organizations to share the Word of God through sustainable projects.

While visiting friends in Uruguay, British teacher Tom Michell saw a penguin covered in oil and tar on a beach. Tom cleaned the bird as best he could and then tried to release it. The penguin refused to return to the wild, it just followed Tom around. So he took it home, smuggling the animal across the border into Argentina where he lived and worked at a boarding school. The penguin became a part of his life, and the school's life - with a remarkable influence on everyone who came into contact with it.Later Tom entertained his children, friends and family with tales of the penguin. He put those stories into a bestselling book, The Penguin Lessons, now the subject of a film starring British comedian Steve Coogan.Lives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world.

Eddie Lyle's stories of unsung heroes of the faith in the persecuted church throughout the world blew my mind, and will humble, challenge, and stir you in equal measure. For example, he tells of the extremist's machete falling, but stopping inches from the believer's neck as light flooded the room and the gang fell to their knees and then ran away. That's just for starters! I love Open Doors and their ministry.
