Palm Sunday

Posted on April 17, 2011 by danforth


Today we celebrated Palm Sunday, remembering Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, the beginning of his final week with us a human. As I look around me, I see all of nature lifting branches and colors in praise of the creator! Even the rocks would cry out in praise!

Our preacher this morning, Past. Jean-Noel, talked about Jesus asking his friends to watch and pray with him, and how he came back to find them asleep. Jean-Noel’s question to us was “do we follow Jesus and then sleep?” Hmm.

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.
