Jan & Kim Cone, Past. Boniface and I went and had some lovely times with our friends making do away from home just across the border. We are seeing a few Fulani men in the town of Gamboula, which is encouraging, but it isn’t yet advisable for people to move back, as the rest of the country remains in turmoil.
Here are a few photos from our day – oh the smiles and the talk and the sheer joy of seeing friends again:
Most of our friends have fairly decent places to stay, but others have needed to build makeshift shelters and have started up busy little villages where before there were scattered single dwellings.
Please pray for these displaced friends, for their peace of mind, for the ability to have a good attitude in a bad situation. Please keep praying for this country, for peace to be restored.
