Our God is so wonderful! In our first day of minsitery in Tarapoto God has been very faithful. Even though the mission trip is still one member short (We are hoping Ron Thompson is en route and will be here tomorrow) God is still having great victory. We had our first opportunity to meet and fellowship with our brothers and sisters at the church in Tarapoto tonight. They are extremely kind hearted folks and they have been very hospitable to us. Mike, Dan and I shared our testimonies tonight. It was a great experience and the Peruvian saints seemed to be blessed and very receptive.
One very interesting experience was our sleeping arangements last night. I don´t have time to share all of the details now, but the entire team slept (or more accurately tried to sleep) on the cold hard tile floor in the Lima Airport last night! Several comical things happened last night while we were trying to sleep on the floor. One thing that made me laugh was the double takes everyone was giving us as they walked by. It is comical to think of our team of Gringos all crashed out in close quarters in the food court of this busy international airport.
Thanks for the prayers family! Please continue to pray for the team. Pray for Ron to make it safe and timely tomorrow. We need him here by 4pm in order for us to reach the Bible Institute in Bella Vista on time tomorrow. He is supposed to be here by 1pm tomorrow. Also, just pray for the Institute in general. We all want to be very sensitive to the LORD´s leading and teach the Truth´s the Peruvian pastors need to hear. Pray for us to be clear and precise in handling His word. Also pray for Delwin as he translates for the entire team. This is a very exhausting process for him. Pray for an extra measure of strength for him.
God bless you all!
Travis
