This evening (around 6pm) I begin my journey to the Amazon jungle of Peru. For those of you who don’t know, I’ll be going to a boys’ home for former street kids. These boys have captured my heart. I can’t wait to see them again. We will be teaching a Bible Club while we are there. I am so excited about this. If you know me personally, you know that my heart is to teach. I love teaching anything, and so much more teaching the truths of God. Imagine the joy in telling these boys who have been abused or abandoned that there is a God who loves them!
Here’s some things to pray for…
1. Travel safety. The journey to get there is a long one. Pray that we arrive safely. Here’s the itinerary…Drive to Atlanta. Flight from Atlanta to Ft. Lauderdale to Lima. Spend the night in the Lima airport. Flight from Lima to Iquitos. Boat from Iquitos to Puerto Alegria.
2. Pray that God would open the boys’ hearts to see and understand that His Word is a treasure, that He is a treasure. Also pray for attentiveness, as they have a very short attention span!
3. Pray that the truths of the parables we will be teaching would be real in our own hearts as we teach them.
4. Health. Of course, we would all like to stay healthy while we are there. No parasites, amoebas or anything of the like!
I treasure you all! Thank you for reading my blog and for praying.
