I love this photo. These are two of my good friends. "Yususfi" is the Fulani man. He lives with his family about 10 miles out in the bush, where he looks after his (and my) cattle, and cultivates millet. He reads Arabic and Fulfulde, and is respected as a teacher. He is following Christ and wants to know all he can about the Bible.
Timothee is Seydou's son, from the Samogho people. He goes to school in town, and reads French (he also does some pretty mean hand-springs).
They are reading a picture book together about the life of "Ennabi Muusa" - the prophet Moses.

Timothee looks wise for his age. Maybe it is the picture. Hopefully, you'll see them soon.

The Picasso Code will prove that Moses had a child.

Its truly a beautiful sight to see Father and Son reading together..I pray for Yususfi to hunger more and more for the things of God and that he will affect his nation...
