Prayer Request

Will you join me in praying for more students to sign up to serve with you in Peru this summer?

I would really like to have another guy to serve in San Jose de Quero, Canta, Chancay River Valley and another girl to serve in Iquitos.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.

Psalm 37:7

What questions do you have?  You probably aren't the only one.  Leave a comment and I'll post a blog response.

Days in Iquitos

I'm sitting in hot Iquitos tonight enjoying some time with fellow missionaries.  With the power outages, it's been harder to get off emails that expected.  Please excuse the delay!

Iquitos ladies, you'll be glad to know that your housing deposit has been paid and you officially have a place to live this summer!  You also should have received and email this week with details about your life this summer.

San Jose de Quero team:  I have just sent you and email about your summer life.  If for some reason you didn't receive it, please let me know and I'll resend it, facebook message it, etc.

Everybody else: Emails are in the works to each of you.  Coming to soon to your Inbox.

Traveling

Bright and early Tuesday morning I'm taking off for Iquitos.  It's time to go find and secure housing for the girls and work out some of the details of the living and ministry arrangements.

I'll have internet access, but won't be quite as quick about responding as I usually am.  I'll be in Iquitos Tuesday to Saturday.

Prayer Request for Japan

I know many of you are praying for our brothers and sisters in Japan. This prayer request comes from a veteran missionary in Japan:

“Over the last 24 hours I have had a growing sense of the need to communicate a single priority prayer request for Japan. I would really appreciate it if everyone who receives this message passes it on to their own network of people. We need to unite around this request. Here it is: 

Pray that the winds begin to blow eastward and stay low, out of the jet stream--toward the Pacific ocean and away from the land mass of Japan--and continue to blow EAST until the nuclear crisis is over. This is critical. Staying low, and eastward is essential for limiting the damage. 

As you know, the four nuclear reactors in Fukushima are all deteriorating, and levels of radioactive emissions are rising. This has the potential to directly affect a large part of the nation, if reactors continue the meltdown process and emissions blow directly over the land. A strong, consistent, prevailing wind to the east would have a profound protective effect on future radioactive emissions. In addition, if the emissions rise to the jet stream, they will be carried as far away as Europe.

In the history of Japan a "divine wind" has played a pivotal role in the survival of the nation several times. Now is the time for Christians to arise, and lay hold of God for a powerful east wind to protect this land, and all the countries that lie to the north, west, and south. The east is the only direction without heavily populated land masses.

As you pray for physical wind, also include the request for the "wind" of the Holy Spirit to blow with great power over this land and create a spiritual revival that will remake Japan from the inside out. That spiritual wind is just as important as the physical wind--these are two aspects of one crucial prayer request for this nation."

Flight Information

As your looking for flights, keep in mind:

Arrival between: June 1 @ 8:00pm and June 2 @ 1:00am
Departure between: July 30 @ 8:00pm and July 31 @ 2:00am


For a few of you, in the initial email you received, I said you could arrive as late as July 2.  This was a typo.  The above information is correct.  


Also, please send me your itinerary before you purchase it so I can double check that it fits within the guidelines.


THANK YOU!!

Preparations are Underway

With the anticipation of your arrival, I'm getting all the fun things in place, like a place to sleep, plans for meal, sorting out your budgets, transportation, etc.  A big piece of the puzzle was put in place this morning when I secured reservations at a local hostel.

Ya'll are going to love it!  Great outside space, hammocks, yummy breakfast, comfortable seating, large rooms with a bathroom attached to each room.  Trust me, these are the best digs summer missionaries have ever had.  Take a peek....
