blog CEFA aerial with labels

This is where we live! This photo had to have been taken in the last month or so. If you want to go to Google Earth and get a closer view, just enter these coordinates:

4º06’20.73”N    15 º11’33.66”E

Here is a view farther out, so you can see where we are compared to the mission where we used to live, and the town of Gamboula.

Large view CEFA mission townWe have been very open about living at Gamboula, as missionaries, with great freedom in this country, over these many years, so we are thinking it is okay to publish this, and it gives all of you a better feel for where we are.  Please keep praying for C.A.R., for peace and reconciliation, with some extra prayers for those who have been hurt or displaced.

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.
