<br/><br/> the present study went from the observation that the DRC in general and its capital  Kinshasa  unparticularised  experiencing  a  leadership  crisis  that  has resulted in the fragility of socio-politico-economic, cultural and faith-based entities that prompted the Mennonite Brethren, through the CEFMC, to call on their own to  take  up  this  challenge.it  started  from  the  assumption  that  if  the  CEFMC Christians developed personal leadership that reflected the principles of Christ leadership,  they  would  succeed  to  (a)  ;  play  their  role  as  God's  agent  for  the salvation   of   mankind;   (b)   reinforce   their   trumps   (assets)   and   turn   their weaknesses into strengths and contextual challenges into opportunities for the mission;(c)confirm  the  incarnation  of  the  scriptural  principles  (embodiment, personification) of Christ leadership in their missional commitment (undertaking); (d)demonstrate (express) a personality, character and skill (competence, ability, proficiency)  that  would  promote  community  (communal)  transformation. This hypothesis served to verify: how the Batela Church of the Mennonite Brethren in Kinshasa   applies   the   principles   of   Christ   leadership   in   its   missionary commitment.to  achieve  its  specific  objective:  to  discover  the  principles  of Christlike leadership and analyse how Batela church appropriates and embodies in   its   missional   commitment,   it   used   the   empirical-descriptive   task,   the interpretative task, the normative task and the pragmatic task according to the model of Richard Osmer's practical theology. This approach has found that the praxis  of  Christocentric leadership  in  the  missional  commitment  of the  Batela Church is both an existing and a non-existent reality. To change the situation, she can focus on discipleship with a focus on formal, informal training and non-formal using some of the activities proposed this study.
