Prayer Letter

Dear Faithful Prayer Warriors,

Our last trip to the Shishinahua River was to start work on a church in one of our villages named Yarina. A family there has been wanting to build a church for quite some time and now we had the chance to help them do that.  Maria's brothers joined us on this last trip and together we cleared the land to build the church and then her brothers took to finding hard wood trees and cut the wood with a chainsaw to build the framework. Unfortunately they were not able to finish cutting the wood before we left and so we will be returning the Shishinahua River next week to finish the task.

This trip will be multi-focused in that while Maria's brothers are cutting the wood for the church the rest of us will be joining a team from the US to do six bio-sand water filters and present the Gospel with Bible studies and prayer for the village of San Francisco.  From there we will minister the Word of God in the villages of Santa Clara and Santa Rosa before joining Maria's brothers to help with the church building in Yarina.

My prayer is that San Francisco will be very receptive to the Word of God and to the moving of the Holy Spirit so that they will experience a true transformation of body, soul and spirit. Along with them that Santa Clara and Santa Rosa will experience the same. Would you stand with me in prayer for this as well?

We will be traveling from Saturday, June 18 to Saturday, June 25 and the prayer points are as follows:
  1. Safety as we travel and wisdom for the boat drivers as they navigate their way through the rivers.
  2. That each of us will be the open, sensitive instruments that God can use to reach all these villages with the power of the Gospel in the most effective way.
  3. That all the people will be very receptive to what the Lord wants to do in them and receive all that He has for them. 
  4. Please pray for anything else that the Lord lays on your heart for this trip.
Thank you all so very much for standing with us in prayer and believing for everything that the Lord wants to do during our time together. God bless you in mighty and abundant ways.

In and For Him Always,
Sharon
