Wamba, 19 January, 2024 / 9:10 pm (ACI Africa).
The newly appointed Catholic Bishop for the Diocese of Wamba in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has described his January 17 appointment as “an enormous challenge.”
Speaking to journalists Thursday, January 18, Mons. Emmanuel Ngona Ngotsi welcomed his appointment with a lot of gratitude, “first to God for choosing his humble servant and to Episcopal Conference of Congo.”
“It's an enormous challenge but I put my trust in God, who has always led me as a missionary,” Mons. Ngotsi said.
He added, “34 years ago, I was outside the Congo as a missionary and the Lord has always led me.”
“I put my trust in him. It's his mission, not mine. I also trusted God's people, whom I'm getting to know through prayer,” the Congolese Bishop-elect said.
