In spite of the ongoing war, which has caused extreme poverty and the displacement of tens of thousands of people within the country, the Nundu Deaconess Hospital, nursing school and some 40 health centres continue to function to some degree, thanks to courageous efforts of Congolese staff and ongoing support of donors. Linda also works alongside church leaders in various aspects of training. Linda Stryker Missionary to Africa/Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
