WOW! God has done many great things since then. Let me share some of the praises and results of your prayers and giving. First of all God has answered our prayers for more openness in the Yagua community. Almost three weeks ago, I presented the plan to build a Discipleship Training Center on the Yagua land. There were a number of persons missing from that meeting that seemed to be in opposition. It was decided that I would come back when I could present the entire project and they would make sure all the community would be preset to voice their concerns and to take a vote. God provided a Colombian engineer that has recently become a believer. He became excited about the opportunity to work on a project that is Kingdom focused. He has donated much of his time on the blueprints and development of the plans for this Discipleship Training Center as an offering to God and has agreed to see them through to completion. We presented these plans on Saturday April 14th. The Community received the entire project overwhelmingly as a complete majority. WOW!! Praise God.
Most of the work to be
done on this project will be done by the people of the community itself where
possible. This will keep the money in
the community and be of great benefit to them.
It will also give them a sense of ownership. All training or teachings will be from a
Biblical perspective and will focus on discipleship and development of self
sustaining communities. This is a big
move forward! The projected cost of this project is close to $100,000.00
dollars. I will be traveling in the
states in July through September raising funds for the project. If you or your church group would like to do a creative fundraiser to help in this project, please click the link to Send me an email. More people involved,
more prayers sent up, more money received, more lives saved, more glory to
God!!! We have the victory!!!!
April 24th
I will be headed up river to Iquitos Peru.
There is a group that are also focused on reaching the Yagua
Nation. They too are working on a Yagua
Training Center. The majority of the
Yaguas come from Peru but have traveled east along the Amazon River to Colombia
and Brazil. God has blessed me with a
Colombian couple (Herminzo and Rocio) who desire to learn more about the
mission and will be traveling with me to Iquitos to serve and companion
me. What a blessing! Please pray
for them as this is their first mission trip. We will be viewing the project in Urco
Miranyo in one of the tributaries off the Amazon. I will be speaking in their staff
meeting. This will be a good networking
opportunity. Please pray for God's insight on this trip.
Adventuring with Christ,
