To the Unini!

Out with the old, in with the new! To kick off the New Year, I have got a new partner and a new assignment. Corey and his new partner, Fausto, will continue the work we started on the Tigre, while José and I take on a group of Asheninca who live on or near the Unini River. The change came as an unexpected surprise when José and Fausto, two Ecuadorians who just finished training, decided to stay on the team.

That being said, José and I will hopefully leave sometime this week. It will be another short trip since we have to be back for our Xtreme General Meeting (XGM) at the end of February. We will take a lancha to Atalaya and look for contacts and a way up the Unini from there.

Prayer Requests:

  • Please pray that God will send us someone to introduce us in one or more of the communities there and that we find acceptance among the people.
  • We have no way of choosing a specific community until we arrive in Atalaya, so pray that God would guide us to the people He has been preparing.
  • Also, we will once again be dependent on the people to provide our food and shelter.
  • Finally, staying for long periods of time where there are no other believers can be spiritually taxing. Please pray that God would provide for our spiritual needs as well.

--At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ… that I may make it clear.
Colossians 4:3-4
