I am soaking up the family time, being blessed with cuddling little Emrie, listening to Maia tell me all about what’s happening in her world, having tea parties and pet shows with Maddie, and just hanging out with Josh & Kimia.

We went to Maddie’s school the other day to have lunch with her.  It was interesting to see her classroom, and she’s got a wonderful first grade teacher whom she adores.  The noise level at recess and in the cafeteria, plus strolling the halls and seeing all the bulletin boards full of kids’ work and special projects brought back memories of Josh & Sam in public school in Ithaca, NY, a bazillion years ago.   Here is the fam working together on an art project, coloring and gluing beans on a turkey for Thanksgiving:

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.
