Updated prayer letter

Dear Prayer Warriors,

I want to thank you so very much for keeping us in prayer for this last river trip. We were able to get in and out of the villages with no problems. Our meetings went well with the villagers and we were able to teach from some of the material that we had during our 5-day training in March. It was very encouraging to see how they responded and to realize that now they will be sharing the Gospel with their neighbors, family and friends.

What was also encouraging was that some would like to be further trained in order to minister to their people more effectively and so we will be starting a Bible institute with them from my mission very shortly. One teenager, Orenson, and his father from Santa Rosa, one of our villages, came to visit me while they were in Yurimaguas. Orenson said that he wanted to be a pastor and would like to be trained as well and he's only in 7^th grade! This is nothing other than the Holy Spirit working deeply in his heart and in the hearts of all the other people we are reaching for the Gospel.

One last blessing was that one of the men in the village of Yarina said in the past that he wanted to build a church so that when we came to his village we would have a place to have the meetings. Now however, he wants to build the church because there are extended family members in the villages on either side of him that he and his family have ministered to and now they want to go to church. Since there aren't any churches in their villages they would come to the one he builds in his village. This is amazing because it will be the first evangelical church on this river! Glory to God for His faithfulness.

Thank you so much again for standing with us in this tremendous work. Together we are truly making a difference for the Kingdom of God and it is my honor to be working with you in this.

Many and Rich Blessings to You,
Sharon Malcolm

April prayer letter

Dear Prayer Warriors,

We are making another trip to the Shishinahua River to encourage the believers and continue our training to equip everyone to evangelize and disciple their own people in the village. This will be a follow up visit to our 5-day training that we did in March to see how well the people that attended were able to use the material but also we want to teach those who could not attend. Our goal is to continue to work with the people in the villages so that they are confident enough to go out and reach the lost in their area themselves.

Would you stand with us for this trip while we travel Sunday, April 17 to Friday, April 22? Please pray with us for the following:

• Safety as we travel. The rivers are very high right now, which makes travel much easier but at the same time it makes the currents much stronger. So pray with us that the boat drivers will be able to navigate their way through the river debris of fallen trees and branches that are in the waters and that they be able to see what is there quickly enough to avoid it.
• That everyone in the villages will attend the meetings that we have in order that the Holy Spirit can minister to each person effectively.
• That there will be a passion and deep conviction in the hearts of every believer as they hear the training to realize the necessity and urgency of evangelizing their villages now. They need to understand that they, and not us, are the instruments that God wants to use to reach the lost in their area.
• Wisdom from the Holy Spirit as we re-teach the material from the 5-day training for those who could not attend the training in March so that it is very clear and applicable to every listener.

I want to thank all of you in advance for your prayer support for this trip. I can't tell you how many times the Lord has saved us from accidents and loss because of your combined prayers. Not to mention, of course, the powerful way the Holy Spirit has moved on the hearts of all who hear the Gospel. This doesn't come by accident or coincidence my brothers and sisters. It comes because we are praying together. So let us continue in this amazing work to complete the Great Commission together and take every village for the Kingdom of God!

Blessings To You in Every Way,
Sharon Malcolm

Ministry opportunity translating to Spanish

If you are fluent in Spanish and have some extra time for ministry I could really use your help.
My mission, Go To Nations, has an excellent Bible institute that has been used in various countries where our missionaries serve and the results have been amazing!

I would like to do the course here in Peru with the Shawi Indians that I am working with since several have asked about further training. However the curriculum has only partly been translated into Spanish and there is still quite a bit more that needs to be done. Therefore, I am asking for several people that are fluent in Spanish to proof-read the computer generated translation that I will do and make any corrections to grammar and punctuation that needs to be done.

I can email you the Spanish and the English version, so that you can see what it is supposed to say, and then make corrections as needed.

As the Lord moves on your heart about this for yourself or someone you know please email me at reaper4him@yahoo.com as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help with this need and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
