We left Belem on a small bus met up with the Brazilian missionary and set out in his boat. We had to walk along a series of logs to get down to the water, then step through a small river boat and up into the bigger boat. How to describe the boat... Have you been on the Jungle Cruise at Disney? Let's say Walt got it about right.
We landed at a small island that can only be reached by boat and met two families that have become followers of Jesus. They are learning more about Him as they listen through the New Testament on the Proclaimer.
In the afternoon and evening we went to another island and a town of about 2000 people who desperately need the Lord. The adult population (say 16 years and up) was about 80% drinking and/or already drunk. Very sad. We showed the JESUS Film to 44 precious children. 34 prayed to receive JESUS. He is really their only hope.
Today we'll meet with a group of pastors in Belem who are planting churches throughout the region.
Blessings,
Ron
