Christmas flew by and it’s now 2011

Posted on January 4, 2011 by danforth

We had a crazy busy Christmas, as I’m sure most of you had also! We had a baptism and communion and various church services with lots of special music and bible verse recitation.

People got dressed up – here you’ll see the colorful scarves and barettes and even a wig & hairnet!

We had great meals and fun times both with the missionary community and African friends.

It all went by so fast, with Soleil Larsen’s birth and putting together a med order and getting accounting in order for the new year’s audit… We are so thankful that we can be here, and we are so very thankful for Christ’s birth into this messed up world, just for you and me!

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.
