Meet the Ekstrands!

This is the blog for Pete & Cindy Ekstrand.  We are missionaries with the Evangelical Covenant Church and work with the Communaute Evangelique de l’Ubangi-Mongala (CEUM or Congo Covenant Church) in the NW part of DR Congo.  We serve as advisors to the CEUM leaders as follows:  Pete with the CEUM President, finance department, mission accountant, IT and communications; Cindy with the department of women ministries, education, small agricultural experiments and hostess.  Together we are the champions for the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) holistic development model as well as advise the development department.

We have three adult children – Rachel, Carl, and Sarah – who live in the United States.  Please take some time to peruse our posts and get to know us.  We hope our Lord will bring you joy at what He is doing around the world.
