Prayer requests for May

Posted on April 24, 2011 by danforth

Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you for praying along with us about what is going on here at Gamboula.

We are thankful that the CEFA board meeting went well, with long journeys to and from the meeting completed in safety.

We are thankful for the start of the rainy season, but it has been way too sparse in Farmer Roy’s opinion. Please pray for rain and for the crops that have been planted to sprout and bring forth a great harvest.

Please continue to pray for us as we pack up and say our goodbyes for the time being. We have a lot of loose ends to tie up and jobs to turn over to others. Pray that we would find the time to do all we need to do before our departure. We leave for a year in the states on May 12th, the first leg of the journey being on a 5 passenger plane from Gamboula to Yaounde.

Please pray for our Fulani friends and acquaintances, that God’s love would shine brightly into their hearts!

Thank you for praying, for caring, for being a part of our lives!

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.
