Our leaders

Pastor Belly Grace Ndongala was born in the Congo and set out to become a medical doctor. Somewhere on that road, God called him to a different kind of healing. He answered, and he has never looked back: pastoring and planting churches for Jesus Christ is what he was born to do.

He shares that calling, and his life, with his wife, Ntika. Together they have made Phila-City of Praise a house where the praise is loud, the Word is taught plainly, and no one sits alone.

Pastor Belly speaks English, French, and Lingala, and he will meet you in whichever one you pray in. Ask him about medicine sometime. He will tell you he still practices, only now on hearts.
