Vincent Machozi in the Congo

Machozi’s Calling

Father Vincent Machozi put his STH studies aside to work to end the violence in his native Democratic Republic of the Congo. Despite constant threats, he posted grisly photos of victims on his website and reports identifying the killers as military or government agents. But no measure of danger could match the power of Machozi’s calling.
