Grace’s florist shop

Awhile back, Roy was able to help out an enterprising friend in Cameroon.  Grace was in the process of setting up flower fields and a florist shop.   A part of Roy’s spare time and hobby interest is raising flowers, mainly orchids and heliconias.  So it was natural that he would help her and boy was it a fun thing to see Grace’s excitement and how she had gotten things all set up to provide floral arrangements for the local population in her big city.

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.
