So I've barely been back home in Santarém for a week and it's time to head out again! We're enjoying hosting a team from north-eastern Indiana, a couple families, and will be traveling with them to the Amazon River village of Auerana. You may remember that name from this trip back in November of last year. This time we'll be painting the church, installing water filters as well as performing maintenance. We are also planning to do some children's ministry and distribute some school supplies. Of course this will accompany evangelical services in the evenings and visits to families during the day.
Please pray with us for Spiritual Freedom to reign over this community, dispersing and efforts of the enemy to disrupt our efforts. As with many communities in the Amazon Basin, this one has some specific struggles with alcoholism. Please pray for this bondage to be broken! We're going there in the Name of our Holy God, believing His purposes will be fulfilled!
Now is the flood season, so we're likely to encounter some rain. Pray this does not get in the way of our work or the evening services! Also, since this is a flooded community, you can pray for the safe transportation of all the Americans in the little wooden canoes that we'll use to get around at the community! I'll look forward to updating everyone when we get back!
Oh, and here's a great 5 minute presentation of the Gospel. Enjoy.

Ed, we just got back to town this afternoon! We had a great trip on the Amazon and everybody is safe. I'm sure they'll be excited to give you all the details...and hopefully you'll see the summary here in a couple days.
They were a HUGE blessing to that community....
