Jour 6 & 7


Ben says the Dardnest things in Africa


We recently took a trip to the bush, this post has to be brief since we are fixing to get on the plane to head back to the states but we began early that morning with packing up the trucks.
as soon as we began we found a flat tire, this was nothing new to us, we know that when God is doing something big satan is attacking.
team photo in the bush, well on the way there.
welcome to the road to the bush
We finally made it to the village after 3 hours.
This is what the rest of our day looked like in the bush, and night as well. We spent some time digging holes for the new church, or a hangar that the church will meet under. As well as spent the evening showing the Jesus film to a completely unreached people group. (aka people who have never heard the name of Jesus before).










(these little boys are shepards, they do not attend school and most likely never will, they will spend the majority of lives doing this very thing.)








Bush food, keep in mind it was pitch black out when we were eating...you never know what ends up on your plate. This night we had chicken (gabi and dusty ate the head and feet) and to(e) which is a mashed up millet sponge thing with no flavor, beans, and well soupy okra sauce. We had a few sick people after this meal....
when we got the the larger village to show the Jesus film we had a little while of dancing, here are the guys breaking it down.
this picture was taken early on in the film and by the end we had about 400 people there hearing about Jesus for the first time.

The next morning we got up and filled the holes for the new church.






Then we went to this pond/lake and did this; (ps. these are wild crocs, not trained or in cages or anything of the sort)











See you all in a few hours!!
