After church service at Mfila Parish
This photograph shows the congregation of the Mfila Parish after the church service. In 1990, Mfila Parish was one of the larger of Kinshasa's 25+ congregations. Mfila has a solid concrete structure and electricity, although 10 yards behind the camera was a deep ravine caused by erosion, which was threatening to swallow the church building.

The Elikia (Hope) congregation of Kinshasa
This is a photograph of a worship service in the temporary structure of the Elikia (Hope) congregation in Kinshasa, Zaire. The members were in the process of slowly saving money and bricks for a sanctuary. Meanwhile they met under a structure of bamboo poles and palm branches, which sheltered against the sun but not the rain. Here a 14-year-old boy leads a children's choir.
