You Bought a Canoe

August 7, 2017

The Piapocos of the Amazon Rain Forest depend largely on the various rivers for their highways. The Jungle Team have been very motivated to reach other villages with the gospel, so have had to borrow a canoe of sufficient size for travel, sometimes an outboard motor, as well. Prayer for the Outreach Ministry has been […]

Willingness to Teach

August 2, 2017

When the invitation was given for Piapoco believers to be trained to teach God’s Word, Amanda and Yadida were among the group upriver who gladly volunteered. The training time is scheduled for later this year in that village. Being a part of the team with their husbands, the wives returned here, and the team shared […]

Now I Know and Understand

July 26, 2017

They talked for hours. Ramiro had so many questions about what he has been reading in the Word or had been taught in Spanish. It was so encouraging to meet a Christian Piapoco leader who spends time reading scripture each day. Yet there were portions that he wanted clarified. “I am so thankful that it […]

The Kids Were So Attentive

July 21, 2017

This week, a Piapoco elder, Ramiro, from upriver, who had gone through the discipleship program, happened to show up. The Health people brought him here to get his eyes examined. So we offered a room for Ramiro and to join in on some of the ministries here. He is very keen on starting the children’s […]

People were praying…

November 9, 2015

…So I wasn’t very surprised when 9 ladies came filing in to the meeting house, but just breathed a ´thank you, Lord´. As I looked at the familiar faces, I wondered where each one was in their understanding of the gospel. An added blessing, was that Susana had just arrived the day before from a […]

Eager to Return

November 8, 2015

Summer, 2015 Heavily laden with Bible materials, food and gas, the various dugout canoes wound their way back to the villages, returning the Piapoco leaders home. Their time here was very encouraging, both for them and for us. Faithful men teaching others. They were learning deep truths about God that they had never heard, truths […]

El Comerciante

May 4, 2015

Blurting out obscenities, as he and his crew poled the large dugout canoe toward our port, the rugged comerciante (merchant) didn’t even know he was our answer to prayer. Even his swearing was music to our ears, since there had been no comerciantes come our way in months that dry season. Supplies were running crucially […]
