We had church on the property today as elections are going on and most churches were closed. About 30 Baka joined us and Jake and another leader preached. I translated into French and then a Baka Lady who understood French translated into Baka, it was pretty funny and took quite a while but I think/hope the message got across.
The Baka Chief came and told us that his 3 year old niece had died in the night and wanted to borrow a shovel to bury her. Jake went back to the village with them. It was really strange, the child was here the night before playing with the team and wasn’t sick at all. But in the night she started coughing and crying and by the morning she was dead, so sad. Everyone was mourning, it just emphasizes what a huge need there is for the clinic (and the spreading of the Gospel amongst these people of course), we’ve no idea what killed her. They buried her right beside their hut.
