He was a giggly chubby little guy last time I saw him, but his mum and he had left for a village some distance away. He’s back, with an illness that is giving him spazzy weak legs, aside from the ever present malaria. His grandma, Hurrera, is a dear friend of mine, and I just found out that she lost a son in a car accident just a month ago. When we left, she was grieving the loss of two other family members. Lord have mercy!

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.
