Congo Kid

51 - Episode 45 – Trials and Triumphs in Congo – A 100 Year Mission Journey – Part 7 of 7 – 6-26-26

Jeff, aka Congo Kid, is a casual writer and podcaster. He enjoys studying and discussing sociology, culture, and human behavior. His formative years were spent in Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa, where he learned multiple languages (French and Lingala) and experienced different social constructs, food, and cultures. His life experiences helped shape his worldview, which he feels is distinct and worthy of contemplation. A commercial real estate executive by day, he spends his free time reading, writing, road cycling, mountain biking, and podcasting. Husband to one, father to two, grandfather to one, and Vessel to The One, Jeff is enjoying life and family more and more as he grows older.
