How lovely it was today to be a part of the ceremony to bless our friend and colleague, Pastor Boniface, as a full fledged pastor and missionary to the Fulani. He is an amazing combination of humility and drive and humor too!
\nIn the photos you will see him and his wife, Dalene, and also the women’s group that Dalene is a part of “women who tell the good news”. The ladies are dressed as Fulani for this service and sang a missionary sending song especially for Boniface and his wife. It was so great to have this blessing for them right after the joy of last week’s contacts, as he works right alongside us in the ministry.
