The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is currently the most unstable, violent, and impoverished country in the world, with thousands displaced due to warring factions and a majority of the women suffering from gender-based violence. Christian humanitarian organization, World Relief, has been working in the DRC for over a decade, partnering with local churches to actively and successfully engage in peace-building at the grassroots level - the most impactful way to bring peace and social justice to the region. By working with local church and community leaders to establish Village Peace Committees, World Relief is making a difference to move the Democratic Republic of Congo from crisis to peace.

Through March 28 Josh's albums - including Love & War & The Sea In Between, Jacaranda, Over Oceans, Lost Animals and Love & War: B-Sides & Remixes EP - are available on Noisetrade with the request of a small donation to support World Relief's efforts in the DRC. As a friend of World Relief's, Josh hopes his music inspires prayers for peace and restoration in Congo:
. A $20 tip could settle a local dispute.
. A $15 tip could provide a victim of gender-based violence medical care and counseling.
. A $10 tip could provide vegetable seeds to a farmer.
