Gifts from the U.S.

Jan handed out some scarves from a U.S. friend to some of our friends across the river.  What a kick to see them tie them up in various styles, primping in front of H’s tiny little mirror.  They were thrilled, as I’m sure the thoughtful U.S. friends will be when they see the photos.  I cannot deny that I am the blessed one, who gets to experience the gratitude and joy first hand, even when I’m not the one who actually gave the gift!

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.
