Dear Prayer Warriors,
I am writing again to ask you to stand with me for an upcoming issue that could temporarily thwart the work of the Lord. A team from the States is coming to Peru on October 3 to make bio-sand water filters with me in the village of Varadero. This is where we just got back from and where 20 people accepted the Lord. Just recently though the state that I live in, Loreto, started feuding with a neighboring state called San Martin over a city that is part of Loreto.
San Martin wants this city to be part of their state and Loreto wants the city to stay with them. The city itself, called Pamper Hermosa, also wants to stay with Loreto and so to force the authorities to settle the issue Pamper Hermosa is going on strike. The way they do this is to close part of the only road that goes to Tarapoto, which has the closest airport to where I live. This affects me and the team because I need to fly to Lima from this airport in order to meet the team when they arrive in Peru and then bring them back through this airport in order to get to the village to do the water filter project.
I will be talking to the chief of police and the president of the strike to ask for safe passage for us through the picket lines so that we can get in and out without any problems. Usually these strikes are not dangerous but quite bothersome and could cause a lot of time to be wasted for our team. Would you pray with me for enormous favor from both of them and an escort from the police or a strike representative through the check points. Unfortunately, just their word is not good enough for the strikers. We would need a physical presence of one of them in order to pass through.
I would also ask you to keep us in prayer during our time in the village since we want to complete 25 water filters and greatly minister to the people with the Word of God and prayer. We will be working in three locations in this village to complete the project and hold church services in the evening as well as daytime activities as time permits. Would you join with me in these prayer points?
Thank you all so very much for your intercession and I will surely keep you posted on the outcome of our concerted prayer. God bless you mightily in every way.

- Safe travel to and from the village.
- Good health among the team from stomach issues or any other sickness that would hinder the work.
- Strong bonding with the team and the people as we work with them and minister.
- Wisdom and discernment on how to effectively present the Word of the Lord and pray with the mind of Christ.
- That the people will be as open and receptive as they were on our first trip to the Gospel and receive all that the Lord has for them on this trip as well.
