Welcome to Peru-Amazon!

by Katrina Hulme | June 2, 2024 9:59 PM

After a long travel day, we made it to Iquitos Peru! We met our staff, Luis & Ronald, and then loaded up the boat to head down the Amazon River. We made it to our lodge, prepped for some ministry, and are resting for the full week ahead of us! Please pray for what God will do this week, and we will update as we can! 

Welcome to Peru-Amazon!

Preparing for Food Distribution

by Katrina Hulme | June 3, 2024 8:57 PM

One ministry we will participate in this week is food distribution. We will spend time with families, pray for them, and bless them with a simple bag of groceries to demonstrate God's love in word and action. We packed up the food bags and prayed for the families we will meet!

Walking in the Amazon Rainforest!

by Katrina Hulme | June 4, 2024 9:44 AM

The village we are doing ministry in this week is very rural, so we have to walk through the jungle to get to people's homes for food distribution.

Eternal Impact

by Katrina Hulme | June 4, 2024 9:46 AM

We visited several families and gave them the groceries to bless them. One of the most important parts of this ministry is the time spent in prayer over the families. While the groceries will only last a little while, the power of prayer is eternal!

Church Service

by Katrina Hulme | June 5, 2024 1:16 PM

Tonight we made our way back to Pastor Miguel's church in Mazán for a church service. We have been spending most of our time doing outreach in Bagazan, so it is nice to spend time with Pastor Miguel's congregation and see how the Lord is working in his own village.

Using Our Talents

by Katrina Hulme | June 6, 2024 1:22 PM

During ministry time, we have seen that the Lord is using each of us and the talents that He has given us - like leading worship, connecting with people, faith, teaching, etc. Our time, our resources, our abilities - it is all for Him!
