About Father Gaston:

Our partner in the Congo is Rev. Gaston Muyombo, who started CRM after living in Denver for eight years while working at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Littleton, Colorado and St. Louis Catholic Church in Englewood, Colorado. He returned to the Congo in 1997 and has been CRM’s presence on the ground in the Congo since. Currently, Father Gaston is president and founder of the Congolese NGO Action genèse Buloba (AGB). He operates a small farm outside of Mbuji-Mayi on behalf of AGB, oversees a small parish, and provides assistance to the five orphanages CRM currently supports, including oversight of CRM emergency food funding, among other projects.

Father Gaston also worked with CRM on past projects including construction and operation of a hospital, medical clinic, and schools in Mbuji-Mayi. He has founded churches, schools, clinics, hospitals, and a TV and radio station. He has experience in hospital administration, finance, and construction. While he lived in Denver, he obtained associates degrees in auto mechanics and architecture.
