Is Buck Nite Now Thru Sunday Speaks Here Monday at 7:30 Mompongo mo Imana Mompongo mo Imana, of Ntondo, Zaire. Africa, will speak at Tryon Congregational Church at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 31. Mompongo is a native of Zaire, where he has long been active in Christian ministries and in education. He is currently making a speaking tour of the United States on behalf of Habitat for Humanity, an ecumenical Christian ministry devoted to building houses for God’s children in need. As director of the Habitat project in his native village of Ntondo, Mompongo is supervis ing the rebuilding of all 300 houses in the village. The motivation for this action comes from the Habitat philosophy that every family deserves a decent house in which to live. Mompongo is speaking in the U. S. in order to interpret Habitat’s ministry from an African perspective. He is well qualfied to do so. for he worked with Millard Fuller — Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity — when the latter began building Habitat houses near the village of Ntondo in 1974. Since that time, Mompongo and Fuller have been instrumental in initiating Zairian projects to build some 600 Habitat houses in that economically deprived nation. In addition to houses being built, parks are constructed and small “backyard industries’’ developed. Support for this venture comes from churches and individual Christians throughout the world. The houses are constructed and sold at no profit, with no interest computed on the twenty-year loans. Habitat is not a giveaway program, but a means of bringing durable housing within the reach of economically disadvantaged per sons. Mompongo Is 44 years old, married and the father of six Dr. Donald Gilbert At Meeting Place Dr. Donald Gilbert, Chief of St. Luke’s Medical Staff, was introduced with pride as a Polk County native son al a recent Operation Outreach program at the meeting place.
