Going back in time a bit, just a bit!

Posted on January 22, 2015 by danforth

Have a little patience with me – I wanted to post these photos from at least a month ago in South Africa, just to make someone out there smile!

Maybe I’m a bit conservative in my hopes for driving safety, but a taxi/bus stop on a freeway offramp??!?!?blog waiting for a ride AND!!!  what about fruit sellers right on the side of the freeway?  I do mean freeway, where the speed limit is usually around 65 mph!blog sellers on freeway2 blog sellers on freeway1But, if you forgot to pick up some fruit for supper, here’s your second chance to buy some, that is if you know that they’re there before you get there and whiz past them thinking you wish you could have stopped!  Kinda hard to take a photo, let alone pull over safely when you’re going so fast!  There are guys out on the highways with baggies full of golf balls for sale too!  Crazy world, eh?

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.
