Last night the team arrived in Ollante after a five hour trip. We think it’s spelt O-L-L-A-N-T-E because a women wrote it in the mud for them, however…each time it’s spelt differently! You most likely won’t find it on a map. The team is currently staying at a place 10 feet off the Amazon River. Under their temporary abode, there are still pools of water. Looking out you can see 20-30 handmade canoes. Team leaders Ami and Emily who are passing along the updates today…say it’s a beautiful picture. Yesterday on their trip, they stopped at a village where they saw a fresh tiger skin sitting in the sun. The team is enjoying the sights and sounds.
Today’s ministry will include the door to door this morning followed by children’s programs in the afternoon and church tonight. They continue to have church services just about every evening in which everyone has had a chance at some point to share their testimonies or teach! Everyone is participating and one gal from the team who speaks some Spanish, is translating for the group.
PRAYER REQUEST
They request prayer for the following things:
-Unity within the team.
-Good health. (There are a few cases of travelers diarrhea and plenty of mosquitoes)
-Fruitful Ministry.
-Against spiritual complacency.
It is wonderful to hear that the children are doing so well. We will pray that the team will find unity together and that the medical issues clear up soon.
Boo we miss you so very much and we love you. Praise the Lord and we will see you soon.
Go Kendra! I assume thats who is translating for the group. She is minoring in Spanish. Im so stoked God is using her gifts and abilities, and theres not a doubt in my mind hes not using up every bit of good the rest of this group has to offer. There all in my thought and prayers daily.
Didn’t know they had tigers down there – glad it was just a skin. so excited to hear of the opportunities to witness… you are all in my prayers!
I am sure it is a beautiful, yet heartwrenching place to be. Hopefully the mosquitoes and tummy troubles will subside soon. Careful of dehydration!
Christian, we are lifting you up daily. You are all in our hearts and prayers. May God bless your efforts and multiply your faith!

You all are the best! I pray God is using the gift(s) He has given to each one of you to maximize all that is a part of His perfect agenda for this Amazon trip. To God be all the glory as He advances His kingdom through you, His faithful servants. You are so loved and missed.
Amy we are praying for you and your team daily. Can’t wait to see you. Love Us.
It so fun to get these reports and try to visualize what you are seeing and experiencing! What an incredible place to see the hand of God move as doors of opportunity are opened to you to share His amazing love. The relationships you are building with each other in the midst of mosquitos and unigue living conditions will be memories for a lifetime.Jessica so many people are praying and wanting to hear the details. Love you to the moon and back again!
