Sharing lunch

Posted on November 24, 2014 by danforth

We were enjoying having lunch at a lovely little restaurant overlooking a beautiful gorge (you can’t see it so well because it was a foggy day), when the waitress asked us if we wanted to feed the birds. Turns out the bird was a hornbill with a taste for french fries. Seeing the hornbill up close was amazing, and reminded us of home, both C.A.R. and D.R.Congo.

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.
