Preparing ground for palm and cocoa orchards

Posted on January 31, 2015 by danforth

Roy has kept Tom busy and very hot for many days now, as they stake out 15 acres of palm and 5 acres of cocoa orchards. They are trying to keep the measurements as accurate as possible, and there have been some animated discussions at the lunch table as they consider how they went wrong on this line or how amazingly close they ended up on that line.

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.
