Do you need to call roadside service?

Posted on October 19, 2012 by danforth

Believe it or not, this is a road, not a river!  Our ag director, Benoit, was on a trip to a village just north of us, and came to a section of road where he had to rely on guys carrying his motorcycle down the road to the other side of the flooded area. Notice the leader of the group is a younger boy carrying Benoit’s helmet! It was a flash flood, and was quite the surprise!  Benoit made the trip to connect with village co-ops in some remote villages.  This road is the same one where our ag truck got stuck in the bridge, and, I think, farther north where the public health truck flipped into the water, tires up and hood down.  THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR SAFETY FOR US!!!

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.
