Greetings from the Rainforest of Venezuela! We had a exciting day on the Monomo River! After splitting into 2 teams, we ventured out to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ whom we have not yet met.
Team 1 was the medical crew who went out to work with the sick. They met two infants who were both 5 days old! Speaking of seeing Jesus, Drew said “He saw Jesus in the eyes of these newborns” who are so innocent and have their whole lives ahead of them. While ministering to the sick the bulk of the illness were colds, headaches and fevers. Nothing too major, which for us is truly a blessing from God, as He is certainly watching out for the Warao Indians.
Team 2 was the media/Bible School group who ministered to a different set of Indian families. While we did not meet any of the five-day-old infants, we certainly did see our share of children. Many, many children. MK was our photographer and printer specialist. She took individual pictures of all of the children and printed them on a portable printer Imagine that/! Printing in the midst of the jungle! Truly incredible!
Was Jesus present with Group 2??? You’d better believe it! Pastor Tom especially saw Jesus in the eyes of the little girl who was severely burned. Talk about seeing Jesus – this little girl, who couldn’t have been more than 8 years old was extremely happy and wore her scars well. Talk about living the gospel!
An incredible sunset with storm clouds surrounding the sun sent us on our way home. Way too many memories to write about for the first go around, but we appreciate all the thoughts and prayers accompanying us on this mission trip. God is with us!
Amen,
Respectfully submitted,
Kathy
