Camping in Congo

Friday, January 05, 2018





We have found a new-to-us place to go camping! We have tried a few things out side of Kinshasa but most things we have found haven't ended up being restful but more of a stressful weekend away. However, many people go out to a camping spot called  BomboLumene. It is named as such because it is the juncture of the rivers the Bombo and the Lumene. Im not to sure why it took us so long to come camping out here but now that we have this will be a regular weekend get away for us. We first went at the beginning of November with our friends Glen, Esther and Ruby-Jane. Then we went camping over new years with Ruth and Stephen Hale, fellow MAF team mates. Both times we had a ton of fun and plan to go back soon. Most of our Christmas gifts to each other were camping related so we are getting better each time we go :-).

It was chilly enough for a fire :-)

New Years Camping
This was our second trip and we went with the Hales. We arrived just as a bunch of other MAF folks were leaving so it was fun to over lap with them for a few hours. We forgot to bring matches this time and only had one box that the previous group left us, which got wet... but we had fire starters and a car cigarette lighter haha... it took some figuring out but we eventually got our fires going enough to cook.

Support our Ministry with MAF

Managers / Pilots / Mechanics / Administrators are needed on the field. As a pilot and advisor, Nick plays a very important role of flying and advising on operations in the WDRC program. DRC is one of the most difficult places to do 'business' there are as many or more difficulties going into the office then flying over the jungles of Congo. However difficult his job is a necessary one; there are numerous isolated places and people in Congo that need MAF to be here.

The only way that we can continue to do the work that Gad has laid before us in Congo is by your generous donations.

We are aware that some partner with us for only a season which leaves an opportunity for others to come along side our ministry; because of that we are always looking those who will partner with us in our ministry with MAF to be able to keep our fundraising goal at 100%. Would you prayerfully ask God if He is prompting you to be a part of our ministry?
