Update from Jeremy

We just finished the morning team devotion where we read 2 Timothy 2:1-13, where Paul wrote about enduring the cause for Christ. We anticipate an incredible and spiritually, physically, and emotionally draining day. We ask for prayer for strength as we endure for His sake.

The pastors conference starts today! We are expecting up to 140 pastors from across the region. Please continue to pray for the pastors and their openness to the word. Pray also for the speakers and translators that God would give them the words to speak. We are anticipating an incredible day!

The Team Has Landed!

Update from Travis,

The team has arrived in Tarapoto, all eleven of us! Overall the trip down went very smooth. Thanks be to God for protecting us and thanks to you all as you are lifting us up before Him.
We only lost one box of bibles on the way down. There was a mix up and the bag was sent to Las Vegas. I am sure they could use some Thompson Study Bibles en Espanol in Vegas, but we still requested for the Airline to send them to Tarapoto. We heard they are coming tomorrow which is great news!
Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to minister to the our Brothers and Sisters in Tarapoto tomorrow! We will be worshiping with the Saints in Community Bible Church and Delwin will get to preach after being State side for several months.
Well that is it for now. God bless!

-Travis

Pray! Pray! Pray!

I haven't received any news from the team yet. If you checked out the flight itinerary you would have noticed that they don't have much time between flights. My assumption is "no-news is good news". They should be somewhere between Guatemala City and Costa Rica right now. Please continue to pray for their travel and that everyone arrives safe and with all their luggage.
