Anyone interested in building bridges of love and understanding between Muslxims and “Christians”? We just finished reading an inspiring book, “A Deadly Misunderstanding: A Congressman’s Quest to Bridge the Musxlim-Christian Divide” by Mark Siljander ISBN 978-0-06-143828-8. Mr. Siljander addresses many misunderstandings and stereotyping which have contributed to our mutual mistrust and oftentimes hate. Read it with a heart willing to have walls come down.

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.
