dust galore

Posted on January 19, 2010 by danforth

Take a ride to the town across the border and you’ll pass logging trucks parked along the way, waiting for customs clearance and immigration papers:

Then, if you get behind one, you’ll have quite the time of it trying to pass, as they create their own huge dust storm which blocks everyone’s view
truck-dust
Look alongside the road at the dust laden bushes and grasses and you’ll see a burst of clean, bright color because a blossom or a leaf has just opened today:bright-white-in-dust
Thank you, Lord, for all things new, for hearts washed clean, bursting out of overwhelming dust!

About danforth

As Covenant missionaries, we are working with all the tribal groups of the Central African Republic (CAR) but are trying to give special attention to the Fulani, a Musxlim, cattle herding, and semi-nomadic people group. We live on an experimental/training farm, near a mission station which has a hospital plus bible and nursing schools. We are establishing relationships with the local people groups through compassion ministries; Roy through agriculture and Aleta through public health and visitation, in order, ultimately, to share the good news of Jesus the Messiah with them. CAR is one of the least developed countries in the world and is currently in continual crisis (since the coup in March 2013), so reaching out in compassion is key to reaching their hearts. Due to the ongoing conflict and resultant ethnic cleansing in CAR, we are crossing the border to interact with our Fulani contacts.

    Great job on your blog Aleta, who I assume is doing this. The pics of the trucks and dust are very accurate to life.
