Want to Hear About Our Trip to Moloundou?

Moloundou, is 2 days away from where we are currently (more about the roads later).

What's in Moloundou? electricity (sometimes), running water (during certian hours of the day), people speaking Baka in the market (where vegetables are scarce), no fuel stations, at least one restaurant, a couple of churches, friendly people and not so friendly people, and a Baka Bible Institute.

Our team traveled down to Moloundou to visit the Bible School, and encourage and be encouraged by the believers there. Few ministries to the Baka are done in their own language. Usually it's done in French, often translated into Baka. We felt privilidged to bring everything we brought, from Bible teaching, lessons on Bible storying, to agriculture and health topics, all in the Baka language!

We camped outside of the director of the school's house, and ate most of our meals with his family. His name is Wanko, Jean-Pierre. He is not Baka and not originally from the area but is excited to encourage the Baka and teach them the Bible. We were excited to hear about how God is working. We were also able to share and compare difficulties of ministry to the Baka as a unique people group.

We had 3 days where the program was turned over to our team. The school consists of 9 Baka men, some of them with families, some of them single. These men are from all over the southern forest region. They have shown a desire to follow Jesus and want further training.

Barry, using a Saber Digital Player loaded with Baka Bible Stories, taught about Oral Bible Storying as a way to take the message of the Bible back to their villages.

Jennifer spent time with the Baka wives and kids, surveying them to find out more information on their medical knowledge and their needs.

Heidi brought some fruit trees from her nursery and gave them to the school. She also spent time gathering information from the students on what the biggest needs are in their communities.

Stay tuned to hear about our truck and tummy troubles, our Sunday service at Mbangoye, camping at Lobeke forest and other interesting adventures of the Baka team!
