Hungry to learn

Posted on April 9, 2011 by danforth

I was just thinking about our northern Fulaxni Jesus following friends that we visited about a month ago. I was thinking about the different ones’ joys and troubles. There’s recently widowed Hurrera and her family, there’s her sister with her orphaned 1 year old grandson to raise, there’s Bello and his family sharing their faith with this village of seekers, and there’re two young men who we understand are going to a nearby bible school ever so hungry to learn about anything and everything. These two young men are pictured here with our colleague Kim (who is also our son’s father-in-law).

We were happy to recently hear that the people of the village have worked out some differences of opinion and are now meeting together and worshipping together again.
Would you pray for this village of friends?

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.
