Volleyball match at Gamboula today!

Posted on September 30, 2012 by danforth

The guys from “downtown” played against the guys from the mission. It was a fun game to watch, with lots of great, long volleys and good slams. Look how they attach the net to the poles, and how they keep score, with a piece of charcoal. They mark the four lines of a box with a final line diagonally through the middle to indicate each 5 points scored.

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.
