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.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/royaleta\"],\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/blogs.covchurch.org\\\/danforth\\\/author\\\/danforth\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Camping with the kids at Ludington!

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.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/royaleta"],"url":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/author\/danforth\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3385"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3403,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3385\/revisions\/3403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
