Roy & I just went to visit our colleagues, BB & S, in their village in Cameroon.\u00a0 You might recall these are the gifted friends who have rebuilt their lives with Fulani friends and ag co-ops in spite of being refugees from the CAR war.\u00a0 They live their lives fully with their neighbors, sharing what they have, teaching what they know, loving with God\u2019s own grace-filled love.\u00a0 They work side by side in the co-op gardens, they visit the sick, they share bible stories, and they share in celebrations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While in N, Roy and BB traveled to another village, about 3 hrs of horrific roads away, but Roy said it was totally worth it.\u00a0 The guys were so excited about learning about farming and co-ops, they know and trust BB.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the guys were visiting that village, I walked out to the women\u2019s co-op garden with S.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Weeding so that the peanut plants (in the blue lines) can flourish<\/p><\/div>\n

As we followed a crazy winding path and crossed three footbridges,\u00a0 I was struck by those crossings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were simple but strong enough to get us to the other side, and they made me think of S & BB.\u00a0 Loving simply and fully, building relationships with the strength of God holding them up, building bridges to help friends cross over from misunderstandings and ignorance to come to know the Lord.\u00a0 Please pray for this couple and their community of true friends, that God would use S & BB to bless them with the knowledge of his loving grace.<\/p>\n
