Guest Speaker | Polisi Kivava
Polisi is from Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo where he currently works for the Canadian Baptist Ministries leading their African Relief and Development work. He accompanies their African partner organizations in developing and implementing relief and food security projects.
Previously, Polisi has held positions with the United Evangelical Mission as a program officer in Tanazina and as the Head of the department of Diakonia and Development for the Baptist Church in Central Africa.
He has seen firsthand how food producers are negatively impacted by violence and armed conflict. And also how these impacts increase as the violence is prolonged – sometimes by decades – in countries such as the DRC and South Sudan. His role’s have included walking with people living with disabilities and trauma because of natural and man-made calamities. And yet, Polisi continues to hold onto hope and faith because of what he reads in the gospels and how he has seen God at work.
