Third Bum Trip
Thank you for praying for me on my last trip to Bum, and for praying for Abby and the kids while I was away for three nights. We are located on the south-side of the Ring Road, and exactly at the north-side is the Bum area. The Lord is working there to open doors for the gospel even though originally the gospel first came to the entire Northwest Region through the Bum area back in the 1920's. They surely need a fresh understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ. At a funeral we heard preaching from a Baptist church there that insinuated that a paid-up membership card was as good as a passport to heaven. Indeed, pray much!
Almost half way to Fonfuka, Bum on the east side of the Ring Road just before the Ndu tea plantation.
One of the many places to see the beautiful River Kimbi in the Bum area.
A potential site for an airfield in Bum. This location takes 8 to 9 hours to reach over terrible road conditions and would be about a 15 minute flight.
My favorite picture of the trip! When I got out of the car to take a picture of the Ring Road sign, these kids came out from nowhere running to me. They happily agreed to stand in the picture and loved seeing it on the camera when I took it. They are part of the Fulani Muslim school near Kimbi.
A burial service in Kimbi.
I wanted to call Abby before it got dark, so someone took me to the top of a hill that overlooks Kimbi town.
We showed the Jesus film in Pidgin English to hundreds of people from the town of Kimbi. Chrysanthus is preaching the gospel halfway through the film.
In front of one of the fons of Kimbi shaking hands with the messenger of his palace. He is my counterpart as I am messenger of the palace at Laka-Bum. Praise the Lord for the message of the gospel that was given through Kimbi this trip.

Nice hat, Sam :)
Sambo ~ the road actually looks smooth to travel on! How was it?!
I was in 2nd gear and 10 mph for much of the trip, rarely in 4th gear and never in 5th. The spot you see was at the top of a terrible stretch going uphill through 5 inches of dust and stones! We were stopped taking a break. I'll try to add a picture of what the "road" normally looked like :)
