Dr. Francois Ngoumape (pictured), who directs the Grace Brethren Bible schools and seminary program in the Central African Republic, sends along the following update and prayer request:
We started school last Monday with our students who came back in safety, praise the Lord! There are two students who are not back on campus, because there is no traffic on the road toward the west between Bocaranga and the Cameroun border. There are rebels and bandits there. So pray that they may find a way to be back in Bata.
We spent three weeks in Bangui, with François having several meeting and contacts. Claire was been busy doing shopping for the students’ graduation. It was a time for us to be with our kids in Bangui.
During this time we were 29 people at home, I joked that it is a size of a church!!! We are glad to see our kids having a choir group at home. They sing to share the Gospel and talk about True Love Waits. It was emotional to leave them last Sunday.
Please do pray for them, that the Lord might protect them from bad company and [give them] wisdom in their life.
Again thank you for your love, encouragement, and support to us and our ministry in CAR.
