It's a jungle out there!

One of my recent flights was to drop off a short-term mission team into a community named Breu. From Breu, they traveled by river and hiked another 20+ hours to a village named SAWAWO! The group's perseverance in traveling to SAWAWO led to 47 people accepting Christ! The church (from the US) that sent this team is looking at setting up an airstrip and adopting that village…exciting!  Pray for these new believers, that God will protect them and grow their faith.  Click the video below to see a short documentary that the team made detailing their adventure.

 
 

..."from every nation, tribe, people, and language." 

The Centro de Capacitación Bíblica (CCB) works with indigenous groups to equip them to evangelize in areas that are better served by national missionaries.  Just this month our family attended the graduation ceremony for nineteen students that completed three years of intense Bible training (nine couples and one single). Gioconda interpreted for the head of United Servants Abroad (who gave the charge), and the following day SAMAIR began transporting these couples back to their communities.  I had the privilege of flying several couples to a small village called “Fatima” on the Rio Tapiche, where members of this group are looking to plant 25 churches amongst the Capanahua Indians…in a section where no churches exist!  Pray that God will protect, embolden, and ultimately use these national missionaries to bring the Gospel of Christ to those that have not had a chance to hear!

 
 

In an effort to assure the spiritual health of our teenage children in the mission community, a group of us have recently started a Youth Group for High School aged Third Culture Kids (TCK).  In our small mission community there are eleven kids that are able to participate, and so far everyone of them is attending regularly.  As you might imagine, Satan knows that the easiest way to bring a family off the mission field is through family issues.  Please pray that we are able to effectively share the love of Christ with our children as well as to those that we serve in the jungles of Peru.

Much thanks to give

Our family has much to be thankful for as we reflect upon the amazing works that God is doing through the many churches, ministries, and people that have decided to see what happens when we filter the needs of others through the commands of Jesus.  Thank you to each one who partners together with our family, through prayer and financial support, to enable the work taking place!  

Our Sincerest Love and Appreciation,
