     Our time in the jungle has flown by! We have experienced the Lord in countless ways, drawing closer to Him, one another, and the people in Peru. One thing that God has amazed me with is the love and hearts of the women in the villages. In several villages I have met women who poured love out to me, when I felt like I didnt even do much to gain their love. So often I would want to minister to women and build relationships with them, feel like I hadnt done anything, and then be blessed with women who come to me in love.      One example of this was...

Hi Friends and Family!!! I just wanted to let everyone know that I spoke with the leaders and everyone is doing great and loving ministry.  The team is in the process of going down the river and are really excited! I will continue to update and let you know more on how everything is going. Blessings!! Michelle McDonald Field Support Adventures in Missions

Hello all!   Today we head into the jungle for a month, so I thought I would post a quick update.   Last time I made a post about Manly Things, the things that us men were excited to experience during our jungle adventure. I wanted to add to that post, but on a more serious note.  I believe I can speak for all of us men here when I say that God is changing us. Before this point, we were growing, searching, and asking what exactly it means to be a man. Is it how much hair you have on your chest? Do you qualify by having enough scars and epic stories? Does it mean that...

Hey Everyone! So I am alive! I´m just not very good about getting on the internet… 🙂 I am officially a sign of God taking care of the team! In the market about a week ago, I was purchasing some vegetables for dinner in the evening, and i had my camera hanging on my wrist for a short moment. During that moment, A man grabbed my camera and broke the string, and proceeded to run down the alley with it! The man that we had just bought from looked at me, than at the man, then back at me… I just stood there with my mouth gaping open and kind of did this squeak that I think was...

     Good morning from Peru! Today is our last day in Iquitos before beginning the eighteen hour boat ride to Riquena, where we will stay for five days before traveling to other villages along the river. Although I am excited for everything that lies ahead, the bonds formed, lessons learned, and innumerable experiences that have happened here in Iquitos have been life changing have truly been life changing, and I know it will be difficult to leave. I feel like I could write five blogs a day about everything that has happened and it still would not cover everything, so...

Here comes the American, so strong and free, she really has no idea what it is like to be me. I am stuck here in the darkness, no family no friends, if I had a choice I would put it to an end. I am sure she has no real problems or pain, no American has much more they can gain. She don’t know what it is like to be rejected, the bottom of scum… no, not where she is from. I will be quiet and watch for a while, I will pretend to be happy and put on a smile. She would not want to know about my past, if she finds out, our friendship wont last… She wouldn’t want to still be...
