Dounia Marc (seated at the head of the table) had us all over to his house for dinner. Dounia directs the Foyer, the Grace Brethren literature ministry in the CAR, and is responsible for the printing, publishing, and bookstore operations in the country. Part of our goal on this trip was to encourage him and to find ways to assist in getting the publishing ministry further along with better-quality publications, more sales volume, and good business practices. Dounia has served faithfully and well, and several years ago faced terrible disappointment when all his supplies, machinery, and products were destroyed in the country’s civil strife.
