Remembering Bishop John K. Yambasu

He was just a humble and intelligent man and reminded everyone, every time, of the main mission of the church, which is the transformation of the world, and that the church should remain in the middle of the village.” 
​Rev. Kalema Tambwe, UMC of East Congo

The founder of the Child Reintegration Centre, Bishop John K. Yambasu, was tragically killed in a road accident in Sierra Leone on Sunday, August 16, just days before his 63rd birthday.  ​Just last month the CRC joyously celebrated 20 years since Bishop Yambasu appealed to fellow Christians in the US to come to the rescue of thousands of children left homeless by the civil war, and the mission of the CRC was launched to transform the lives of vulnerable children and families in Sierra Leone.  Read more about Bishop Yambasu here.
