Wednesday August 1st,

Today 8 Americans, 6 Peruvians, Javen, Cullen and I all headed out on a missions trip to a few of the villages in our area.  We piled into a 4x4 and drove to the end of the road where we met some brothers who then took us on a 4 hour trek through the jungle to their pueblo.  We had to cross a few streams, battle the blazing sun and deal with some serious humidity.... but in the end we made it without too many difficulties. 

Upon arrival we were given a wonderful reception and a great dinner.  Some of the believers from a neighboring village had heard that we were going to be preaching so they made the hike over to listen and to participate in the festivities.  Some of the sisters on our team did a children's "bible hour" and then later that night we all took part in an open air meeting.  After eating dinner, drinking hot coa coa, and washing up in the creek we got to bed at about midnight.  We thank God for His protection and for using us to exalt Christ in this village.          
 

The missionary quote for the day comes from Count Zinzindorf who said:   "I have but one passion - it is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ."
