Whoo hooo!!! Internet out at the farm!

Posted on August 27, 2013 by danforth

Thanks to Josh and Timothy and Marius and their tree climbing adventures, we have internet available in our house out at the farm, 3 miles over hilly terrain from the satellite dish.   Josh masterminded a plan to attach a relay and solar panels with a battery up a very strategically located very tall lonely tree.   Roy just paid the rights for the use of that tree to the land owner, after some interesting discussion!

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.
