Life Church

We are so excited to be serving alongside you this week!  God surely has great things in store!

We are onto the next part of our journey - a boat ride down the Amazon to our lodging and where we will serve for the week! 

We loved meeting Pastor Luis and sweet Pastora!  We heard his testimony, how the church started, and we were able to worship in their house!

We received a warm greeting as we entered the village today!

Pastor Cesar loves to share the Word of God in his community, Panguana II.

This afternoon we walked the community, prayed for people, and invited them to the events of the week! 

As we walked through the community, we met families, prayed for them, & invited them to our events this week. This is one family that took time to connect with us!

We were able to pray for a woman's house and her son who have been tormented by bad spirits. There is power in the blood and name of Jesus!

While our on our prayer walk we came across a group playing soccer. We were able to pray for them and invite them to the events of the week. 

We were able to purchase a lot of food and put together bags of groceries to bless the community with!

With a great assembly line in place, we put together 70 grocery bags.  We are praying for each family that these bags will go to!

We we received at the church with the best pineapple in the world!

We couldn't pass up the opportunity to bless Pastor & Pastora!

Today we had to remove Pastor Jose's old house. The river is eroding the land and soon the wood and tin from this house would be lost. But not today, we are carefully removing the wood for future use!

Working together to get the job done....the joy of the Lord is our strength!

Pastor Jose's church is getting painted today!

What a joy it was to deliver bags of groceries to families in the community!  We were able to pray for many people, invite them to Pastor Jose's church, laugh, and cry with with the community.   We believe God is doing miracles in the lives of these people!

After giving a bag of groceries and listening to prayer needs, we prayed over this man.  When it was all over he stood up, twisted his knee around and declared that there was no more pain!  Praise God!

We had about 70 people join us for children's ministry as we poured out the Father's love to each one.

A hug with Pastora praying over each of us is a great end to the day.

We had a few hours with the entire school at Panguana II.  We sang, laughed, shared a Bible story, played games, and made crafts.  We are having so much fun sharing the love of Jesus!

Our hard work is paying off and Limber's house is being restored!

Limber's house has been transformed!  Gloria a Dios!

What an incredible time we had together with the children at the school!

This week we have seen the power and authority we have in Jesus' name. He is breaking chains and setting the captives free!

The Lord blessed us with a cool breeze as we met women from the church & community during women's ministry! We shared some of our testimonies and heard from some of their testimonies. Praise God for the connections He is helping us to establish! 

With a full day ahead of us we had to stop for a picture before we were hot and sweaty!

We returned to this home where we had previously prayed for a family that was being tormented by evil spirits nightly.  When we were here earlier they had hung specific leaves on their doorposts that the witch doctor says keep evil spirits away.  Today we brought a bag of groceries and the husband said there has been no more attacks and there is no fear.  They are fully surrendered because of the power of Jesus!

We were able to share with the men of Panguana II and share our testimonies of God's faithfulness in our lives. The cold soda and cookies were good too!

We finally got to go for a little swim in Iquitos! 

We are so thankful that the Lord allowed us this incredible week!  God was so faithful to us and this day has been great, relaxing at a local lagoon!

Sitting around the family table, hearing stories of God's faithfulness never gets old!

Last stop of the trip is to purchase souvenirs to remind us of our time here!
