Potters Field Ministries in Congo – Feeding Bodies, Nourishing Souls
In the heart of Africa, the nation of Congo is experiencing the life-changing power of the gospel through the work of Potters Field Ministries. This mission is not simply about delivering food or teaching lessons—it is about transforming lives from the inside out. Every day, children gather for PMF Kids Clubs and receive meals through the feeding program, but they also receive something far greater: the Word of God, the hope of Jesus Christ, and the love of people committed to walking alongside them.
The mission in Congo mirrors the heart of Potters Field Ministries everywhere—to see children saying YES to JESUS and no to sin, to disciple them in His Word, and to ensure that the fruit in their lives is so visible that all glory goes to the Lord.
The Meaning Behind the Name
The name Potters Field Ministries comes from two powerful images: the Potter’s Wheel and the Mission Field. The Potter’s Wheel symbolizes God’s shaping and refining work in the lives of His people—molding us into vessels of honor and purpose. The Mission Field represents the calling to go out into the world and share the gospel. In Congo, both images are lived out every day as the ministry feeds the hungry, teaches God’s Word, and raises up a new generation of disciples.
Two Hearts, One Mission
At the forefront of this ministry are Pastor Mike Rozell and his wife Pam Rozell—two faithful servants whose obedience to God’s call is impacting lives around the globe.
Pastor Mike Rozell, known worldwide as “The Mudman,” uses his skills as a master potter to illustrate the gospel in a way that people can see and understand. As he shapes clay on the wheel, he explains how God is the Potter, and we are the clay—reminding everyone that God’s hands are always working to mold us into His image. This message resonates deeply in Congo, where many have endured hardship and loss, yet find hope in knowing that God is still at work in their lives.
Standing alongside him is Pam Rozell, a gifted singer, writer, and storyteller whose ministry touches hearts through music and testimony. Her songs of restoration and her powerful life story encourage children and adults alike to trust in the Lord’s redeeming love. Together, Pastor Mike Rozell and Pam Rozell are shaping not just clay but hearts—turning them toward the Savior.
PMF Kids Clubs – Building Faith in the Next Generation
The PMF Kids Clubs in Congo are a cornerstone of the ministry’s work. These weekly gatherings are filled with energy, joy, and purpose. Children come together to worship through song, hear Bible stories, memorize Scripture, and engage in activities that help them apply God’s Word to their everyday lives.
For many of these children, this is their first consistent exposure to the gospel. The lessons they learn at the PMF Kids Clubs equip them to live differently—to forgive instead of retaliate, to serve others, and to share their faith with friends and family.
The Feeding Program – Meeting Needs, Opening Doors
Physical hunger is a daily challenge for many children in Congo. Through the feeding program, Potters Field Ministries provides nutritious meals that help them grow strong and healthy. But the program does more than fill stomachs—it builds trust and opens hearts to the message of Jesus Christ.
When a child knows that they are cared for physically, they are far more open to receive spiritual nourishment. For some, the meal they receive at a PMF program is the best they will eat all week. Each plate served is an act of love and a reflection of God’s provision.
Mudman Burgers – A Business Fueling the Mission
A unique part of the ministry’s global outreach is Mudman Burgers, a Kingdom-minded business founded by Pastor Mike Rozell. Profits from Mudman Burgers help fund mission work, including the programs in Congo. This creative model blends entrepreneurship with evangelism, proving that God can use any platform to advance His Kingdom.
Every burger sold is a step toward feeding more children, planting more churches, and reaching more people with the gospel. It’s a reminder that when business is done for God’s glory, it can have eternal impact.
Visible Fruit, Lasting Change
The goal in Congo is not just to run programs but to see transformation—hearts turned toward Christ, families restored, and communities changed. Potters Field Ministries wants the evidence of God’s work in these children to be so clear that everyone who sees it will praise the Lord.
Already, stories are emerging of children leading prayers at home, teaching their siblings Bible verses, and encouraging their friends to come to the PMF Kids Clubs. The ripple effect of this work reaches far beyond the children themselves—it impacts entire communities.
Until the Whole World Hears
Congo is just one part of the larger vision of Potters Field Ministries, but it captures the essence of their mission: using the gifts God has given, meeting practical needs, and proclaiming the gospel until every ear has heard.
Through the potter’s wheel of Pastor Mike Rozell, the heartfelt worship and testimony of Pam Rozell, the faithful teaching in PMF Kids Clubs, the nourishing meals from the feeding program, and the creative support of Mudman Burgers, this ministry is changing lives in Congo—one child at a time.
The work will not stop here. As long as there are children in need of hope and truth, Potters Field Ministries will continue to go, to serve, and to love—until the whole world hears.
