More About The Amazon River Baptism

We are still in awe at what God accomplished on Tuesday in the Amazon River as we baptized 13 people.

Please continue to pray for the 13 people who were baptized, and also please pray for the entire Yagua tribe. Through the church we started in the jungle for them, and through our literacy campaign with them, plus with this baptism, we have been able to show the love of Jesus Christ to them in some very tangible ways, and it has given us a huge open door with them, and hopefully as well with other tribes in the future. Unreached people are unreached people, whether they live in South Florida, Lima, or the Amazon jungle.

The team that we brought to the jungle from FRC-Lima, 8 people in all, did a fantastic job. They really caught the fever about service and reaching the unreached. We're already planning additional mission trips back to Iquitos, with the idea of growing our partnership with the tribes there, and also with the vision for planting an FRC campus on the Plaza de Armas in the city center in Iquitos. They have a 4-cinema movie theater one block from the city center, and one day it may become another FRC campus in Peru!

Thanks again to everyone who was praying for us in the jungle. God heard and answered your prayers, and He covered us with His mighty hand of blessing, favor, and protection, and the Yaguas and all of us at FRC-Lima will never forget how God's presence completely and utterly surrounded us and filled us as we baptized 13 people in the deep, muddy waters of the Amazon River.
