Brazil Update - 6/6

Thank you for your prayers - we are safely back in Manaus.  I will only capture a very few high points of the week.  Know this - we each in our own way had an appointment with God this week and we saw him work in so many ways - ways that could only be Him.
 
  • Visited four villages
  • Over 200 patients seen by the doctor on our team - including one minor surgery by flashlight - repairing a nasty wound on the wrist of a young lady who cut herself with a machete. 
  • Many, many dads, moms and kids heard the gospel.
  • We shared and felt the love of our Brazilian hosts
  • We caught 3 alligators and numerous piranha
  • We prayed over the construction site of a new center that will be built in the jungle for missionaries
  • Gave away over 70 Portuguese Bibles to people in the jungle
  • Helped in the construction of a new church building and dedicated with the local believers in that community
  • Had heavy rains every day but enjoyed sunshine as well
 
God protected us and other than a few scratches and bruises, ant/spider bites, a wasp sting and one person with a cold, we are all in very good health. If you have any desire to encounter the Amazon jungle in the near term, just be with any one of us when we first open our suitcases - you will be blessed with the smells of the jungle....perhaps that will be your call to the mission field somewhere.
