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 […]

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.

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.

While teaching from Exodus, Wayne was going through the Ten Commandments, when he noticed some questioning looks on some of the Piapocos´ faces.
