Dr. Francois Ngoumape and his lovely wife, Claire, hosted us tirelessly for the week in Bangui. He drove us everywhere, hosted all the seminar sessions, took us on sightseeing trips, and had us to their home for dinner (pictured here). Pray for this dear couple–they are raising 13 children (5 of their own plus others from brothers and sisters who have died), Dr. Ngoumape directs the Bible schools and seminary program for the country, and they live in Bata, a very insecure and difficult place given the current instability of the country. As often as you think of them, please ask the Lord to grant them strength, wisdom, and protection in their courageous lifestyle of leadership and parenting.
