That's All Folks

Well, as Porky Pig would say, "Ble, ble, ble, that's all folks."

This officially rounds out my journal from the June trip to the Amazon.

We are going back to Peru in September for a week. While we are there we are going to:

• Connect with the pastors in Iquitos, discuss doctrine, and explain to them our vision for the work in the jungle
• Price materials for construction
• Research legal technicalities we may encounter in the future
• Reconnect with the Jungle Pastors and Villages
• Try to connect with veteran missionaries in the area

Pray for us and stay tuned. I will let you know all about it when I get back!

If you want to help this ministry, here are a few things to consider

1. Due to the unexpected turn of events in June, our International Fund is in need of around $7,000. If your church would like to help with a one-time offering, just let me know in the comment box.
2. As we and future Instructors will be traveling to Peru regularly, the regular support for the International Fund needs to increase to to $1,000 a month per person. So, if we take 3-4 people on each trip.....
3. In addition to the seminary, we will continue with short-term mission trips. For them to be effective, we need people who are willing to go. We are currently planning a medical trip in March and another regular trip in June. {FYI- Youth Frameworks always has opportunities to do short-term trips all around the world. Keep an eye on youthframeworks.com to stay informed.}
4. Translators are always nice. We need 2 more for the November Trip.

Day 6 Part 2

That afternoon we returned to Timicuro Grande to give glasses and toothbrushes. Because this village is more accessible, they receive more aid. This makes them a little "grabby". They like stuff here. I'm so glad Robert and Youth Frameworks tries so hard not to be a welfare group. The gospel is our main purpose. We will let the medical missionaries be medical missionaries.

In Timicuro Grande, the same organization that built the building in Las Palmas is building one there. It just so happened that the pastor was there. They seem to be sound, but who knows after only 10 minutes.

That evening we returned to Primera Zona for our last service of the week. Overall the service didn't go as well as others. We arrived late due to rain and there were fewer than other nights.

The best part of the night was Rafael. Rafael was lead to the Lord by Chris on the first night in Timicuro Grande. Rafael, a teenager, wanted to see Chris and hear God's Word preached. Between the 2 villages is a 30 minute hike with no trail. He put on his snake boots and walked thirty minutes with no trail. His only light was a small light Chris gave him the first night. What passion!
