Enjoying S. Africa’s Free State

Posted on January 30, 2017 by danforth

We were able to take a few days’ break before school and work started again in early January. Free State country is amazing, breathtaking, expansive, and ruggedly beautiful.

Crazy wonderful rock formations

A sweet little outdoor chapel

And a lovely outdoor … at our old campsite – such luxury!!!

In spite of rain every day, we enjoyed games and reading and hanging out with family and our dear friends, Gary and Lynn Brackley.

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.
