When ethnic violence broke out in the south of the DR Congo, Church members in Kolwezi escaped to Luputa, a faraway village in the center of the country. Elder Willy Sabwe Binene suffered a series of personal disappointments until his life took a turn for the better after he met his future wife Lilly, to whom the Lord had directed him in a dream. Through the efforts of the Binenes and a small group of other members, thousands were converted in Luputa and a stake was formed before the arrival of any full-time missionaries Led by stake president Binene, the entire village became united in a mammoth Church-sponsored water project with miles of trenches dug by hand over three years by rotating groups of neighbors.
