E-mail

Braafharts Bob and Becky Braafhart are from Newton, Iowa. They served in Gabon for 5 years at the Bongolo Hospital with Bob in charge of maintenance/builder with Becky in charge of the guest house, helping with work teams, and homeschooling their children.

Presently they are serving at the Koutiala Hospital in the same roles along with their four children, Rachel (1994), David(1996), Joy(1998), and Noah(2000). Hobbies: reading, grilling, spending time with family, swimming and watching movies.

Dreams: to see the next three buildings finished and open, for work teams to be impacted and to carry that vision back to their home churches; and for the women and children to see their need for Jesus.
