\"Luke<\/a>

Luke & Leanne with youngest son, Timothe, and one of the pets they left behind<\/p><\/div>\n

took off this morning for a 6 day trip to the border town here in Cameroon that sits just across the river from our home in C.A.R. \u00a0They will spend the night tonight with Jan & Kim Cone and RoseMarie Norhed<\/p>\n

\"Jan<\/a>

Jan & Kim, our older son’s in-laws, and partners in Fulani ministry<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A<\/a>

A quick snap of Rose-Marie on the evacuation ferry<\/p><\/div>\n

at a guesthouse where the Cones and Rose-Marie have been since we left C.A.R. on March 24th. They will travel, all together I believe, to meet with a group of leaders from our hospital mission station, in that border town. \u00a0They will all decide together whether the missionaries can make day trips over to our place, and will diligently consider together the wisdom and safety of such trips. \u00a0 Thank you for praying for them, for wise choices and safe travel and blessings as they interact with friends and encourage ministries.<\/p>\n

We continue to hear bad news and good news from C.A.R. \u00a0Our home mission station and nearby town continue to be calm, with no further looting since the day we left. \u00a0We hear, almost daily, about attacks and troubles in different areas in the country, some relatively close but some all the way across the country in the far east. \u00a0The current government claims these are the work of renegade soldiers. \u00a0We have heard that the\u00a0mercenary\u00a0troops who helped with the coup have been called and in some cases herded back to the capital. \u00a0Some say the capital is on the way to becoming more under control, some say there is little hope. \u00a0Please keep praying with us! \u00a0Pray for peace, for stability, for God to have mercy on those who are mourning, on those who are in pain, on those who are afraid, on those who are hungry, on those who are confused and worried and without hope.<\/p>\n
