One Last Stop

Boa Tarde (Good Afternoon) !

The team had a great last full day of ministry yesterday and today they are in a different village for part of the day. The village they are in today is called Araras. We don't have much information on this village so please continue to pray for the Holy Spirit to be revealed through our team and for the hearts of the villagers to be receptive to the Gospel.

After ministering to this village they'll continue on to Manaus. This might be the last post until the team lands back in the US. If I hear from them while they're in Manaus I'll be sure to let you know they arrived safely. Their flight departs Manaus tomorrow at 2:10pm central time and lands in Miami at 7:25pm central time. They will overnight in Miami and depart Sunday at 7:10am central time and arrive into DFW at 10:20am local Dallas time.

Please continue to pray for safe travels, health and wellness of the team and for the hearts of those who heard the Gospel to be moved and softened and ultimately come to know Christ. Thank the Lord for the opportunity our team had, for their obedience to step out of their comfort zone, the translators, the boat crew, the Brazilian ministry team, our partner church, and for all of the friends and family that supported them financially and prayerfully to make the trip possible. Praise God for the work that he is already and continues to do in the Amazon jungle of Brazil. While our team's trip is almost finished, the Holy Spirit is always at work and the team's efforts will continue to impact those villages.

Thank you for checking in and for praying for the team.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Blessings,

Pressing On

Good Afternoon,

Team 2 is doing well and everyone is feeling good today so thank you for praying for those that weren't well yesterday. They are in a new village today where they'll have their last full day of ministry. Tonight they'll begin the long boat ride back to Manaus but they'll have the opportunity to visit two villages tomorrow along the way back.

The villages Team 2 has visited have not been as receptive to the team or the Gospel as the villages were last week. Please pray for perseverance for the team and for the Lord to open hearts of the villagers. Pray also that the team would not grow weary or discouraged but that they would be kept at peace knowing they are being obedient to the Lord and that HE will do the rest.

Please also pray for strength and endurance. They are tired, it's hot, and when the villages aren't as receptive as they'd hoped for I'm sure it's even more emotionally and spiritually tiring.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up Galatians 6:9

Thank you for checking in and for praying for the team.

In Him,
Kelli Coblentz
