Thank you for your prayers!

Posted on August 13, 2011 by danforth

Dear Friends and Family,

Here it is the middle of August and we somehow didn’t get a letter out to you all!

We are enjoying a week of family reunion right now with Roy’s immediate family at Roy’s brother, Scott’s, home in Upper Michigan.  Lots of laughing and playing and reading and sharing and praying!

We had a super Mission Connection Week at Covenant headquarters.  Wonderful input on a variety of subjects, from racial righteousness all the way to how to do our accounting reports properly.

Aleta’s time at summer camps went very well, sharing about missions with Jr. Higher’s and 4-6th graders.

We still would appreciate prayer for Benoit, who is running the ag program and now has to deal with receiving the truck and generator and solar equipment that will arrive by ocean container in a month or so.  He is traveling to the capital this coming week.

Please pray for the Fulani and our friends who work in ministry with them, that they would understand how much God loves them!

Blessings,

Roy & Aleta

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.
