Our final day in Iquitos was a mixture of tourism and celebration. We took the team on the Amazon to a “zoo” where they held monkeys, sloths and even a mountain boa. On the way back, we went to an area where pink dolphins live. We were able to see them as they came up for air.
In the afternoon, we assisted Pastor Manual’s church do some door-to-door canvasing. One young man made a decision for Christ! We pray that God will continue to work among these faithful churches as they minister in some pretty impoverished areas.
The evening service consisted of a celebration of the week’s activities. We all praised God for the work that was done this week and for the dear friends that we have in Iquitos. They presented us with gifts and sang “Friends are Friends Forever” in Spanish. We enjoyed a nice meal together and bade all our friends farewell.
We are mostly packed and preparing for an early wake-up call. Our flight is at 7 am, so we leave at 5:30 am for the airport. The team is definitely tired and weary, but the thought of going home should give us that extra boost to push the tough travel schedule.
Thanks for your prayers. God blessed us immensely this week and much kingdom work was accomplished.
To God be All the Glory!
