After a day doing our last bit of shopping in Iquitos, we took the team to the “zoo”. Robert Adams screamed like a woman when they put the Anaconda on him! Stacie wanted to take the monkey home. Cody, Blake and Stewart seemed drawn to the sloths. They are really cool.
Tonight was a culminating service with all the people in the church’s we’ve been working with. There was probably 250 in attendance and what a service. Great singing, powerful praying and a good message from Robert. After the preaching, the entire church ate together. They then brought the Americans to the front of the church and the entire body sang “Friends Are Friends Forever” in Spanish. What an emotional bonding time this was! Every member of the church then visited each of us wishing a good travel and blessings.
Pray for us as we leave very early in the morning, 5:00 am from the hotel, to catch a 6:50am flight. We’ll spend the day in Lima doing more tourist stuff and preparing ourselves to re-enter the “modern” world.
Thank you for praying us through this trip. It has truly been an incredible experience.
Thank you for sharing your week with us. As we stayed behind to “hold the ropes” it was a blessing to read about God’s goodness in your work. I know you have blessed many that you won’t see again until we meet at God’s throne. May God bless your obedience to go and work there. I’m praying for your safe return to us.
