PERU!
LOADED UP AND HEADED OUT FOR AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!
LEAVING WARREN FIRST CHURCH FOR PERU!
THE "CHIEF"
WHAT A PIONEER EXPERIENCE FOR THE TEAM OF TWELVE, AS WE INTERACTED WITH THE AUGARUNA INDIANS FOR TWO WEEKS... HELPING TO BUILD THREE CHURCHES IN INDIAN VILLAGES ALONG THE MARANON RIVER!
DR. LARRY GARMAN, MISSIONARY
TO THE JUNGLE INDIAN PEOPLE
FOR OVER 40 YEARS WAS OUR
CONTACT PERSON.
THE RAIN FOREST OF THE JUNGLES of NORTHERN AMAZON, PERU
AFTER ARRIVING IN CHICLAYO, PERU
WITH FOOTLOCKERS FULL OF
"SPECIAL NEEDS ITEMS" FOR PERU,
THE TEAM BOARDED A BUS AND
TRAVELED FOR APPROX. TWELVE
HOURS OVER THE ANDES MOUNTAINS
INTO THE JUNGLES.
OUR MODE OF TRAVEL WAS BY TRUCK,
CARGO BOAT, SPEED BOAT, CABLE CAR AND WALK, WALK, WALK OVER MOUNTAINS,
THROUGH STREAMS ON NARROW PATHS.
ONE VILLAGE HAD NEVER SEEN A WHITE
WOMAN BEFORE!
EACH DAY THE WEATHER WAS IN THE 90's WITH TWO AND THREE "DOWN POURS" OF RAIN. WE ALWAYS HAD SOME OF THE NATIVES WORKING SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH US...
DAILY OUR FOOD WAS YUCCA
ROOT. OCCASIONALLY WE HAD
CHICKEN BROTH, A FEW BANANAS,
SOME RICE...
AND EVEN GRUB WORMS!
AFTER "UNBELIEVABLE" HOURS OF WORK, OUR MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED!
THREE CHURCHES BUILT IN JUST FIVE DAYS!
NO ELECTRICITY, PLUMBING OR HEAT IN THE BUILDINGS IN THE JUNGLE. JUST SIMPLE BUILDINGS, EACH WITH A CAPACITY FOR APPROXIMATELY 200 PEOPLE!
WORK and WITNESS CAN BE A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE! WOULD WE GO TO THE JUNGLES OF PERU AGAIN? IN A HEART BEAT!
COLOSSIANS 1:6 "All over the world this gospel is
bearing fruit and growing."IT'S SURE HAPPENING IN PERU!
