Walking up to her house, I feel a weight of sadness and despair lingering over her home. Her name is Emilia. Her adult son, Manuel, sits at the opening that served as a “door” to their home, staring blankly out into the Amazonian growth, looking beyond to the river. Emmanuel. God with us. As we approach, I sense that God was waiting for us to meet them there. So we stand, me and my gaggle of high school girls, waiting to see what God had for us there. We begin to talk with them, share with them, and Emilia sits down, painfully, next to Manuel, and begins telling us her woes: her...

Team Peru has landed. They had lunch in the airport and then it was to the hotel where they enjoyed nice showers, big soft beds and the pool!  Soon they will be home with all kinds of God stories!

By Jordan Pearson It’s been a dream of mine for years now to one day hopefully to English in school overseas! On my mission trips we’ve gone to schools to do VBS but today in the village of Florida, where we’ve been visiting for the past week, we got to teach the kids English! We had different groups to teach animals, weather, colors, numbers and the story of Noah’s Ark.

There were house visits, and time playing with the children, praying over people…and seeing those prayers answered!  They take a boat to ministry each day, the girls are loving that!

After nearly 31 hours of travel, the amazing thirteen women of the Peru Ambassador team have arrived safely to Iquitos!     As a leader, it was incredible to see our ten young women step out in faith before we even arrived to our country. At every turn, it felt like there was an opportunity to minister to someone, pray for someone, or share the Gospel with someone — and these ladies took those opportunities and ran with them! There was Joe, Tristan and Tabitha, Mel and Tim, and countless others.      I have been blown away by the positive attitudes of these...

The Peru team is doing great!  They have been building a church and doing ministry daily.  They have also had the chance to spend sometime on the Amazon.  Their ability to check in has been spotty but they will continue to check in at least once a week.
