First Day in the Amazon!

Oye from Morgan :) Today was a good first day! Went to two villages - did a VBS with the story of David and Goliath in Sol Nascente and Esther in Bucuzal. The kids were adorable and seemed to have fun playing and coloring. God is good and I know He will continue to bless our trip and further His Kingdom! I love you, Momma and Daddy. Tchao!
 
Oye! This morning was filled with sweet reunions in Sol Nascente. 2 adults were baptized this morning in Erika and Vanderley's church and 3 children were baptized as well. It was a beautiful thing to witness in the life of this church. We also delivered the playground parts.  The villagers are so excited! This afternoon, many of our young men stayed behind and started to assemble the pieces. It is closed to being completed. I can't wait to return to Sol Nascente Thursday! This afternoon, we went to Bucuzal and did medical ministries, dental ministries,VBS, and even spent time with the women and taught them how to make soap. The people were so open and hospitable. God is giving us opportunity after opportunity to share His word and love to the people here. Our translators are awesome. Our crew is amazing. God is using each and everyone of our stories to minister to someone. It is truly beautiful. I am so happy to be here. ~Jordan:)
 
This is the Lord's Day, the Sabbath, and what a day it was.  We worshiped with the people of Sol Nascente.  Over four years ago, a husband and wife confessed Christ as their Savior and were baptized.  Today, we witnessed their daughter and 3 grandchildren be baptized.  God is at work, even in the remotest parts of the jungle along the Amazon River in Brazil. Please continue to pray for Erika and Vanderlay as they continue to do God's work here.  Having spent more than 41 hours traveling together, we have really unified and become a team.  All of Ginger's hardwork paid off.  We had no problems getting through immigration or customs.  All of our baggage arrived with all of our supplies.  Today the medical team saw 46 patients, the dental team saw 13 patients and the women's ministry had 16 women in attendance.  Thank you to everyone who has supported us financially and most importantly with your prayers.  We would not be here had you not sent us.  God bless you all.  Kathleene
