We had a great Christmas with my parents. The kids really enjoyed seeing grandpa and grandma!
We will be here at Camp Victoria till the 6th of January. I will be helping assemble a zipline and do some maintanence on the camp bikes.
On the 6th we return home and then on the 8th I leave on a trip with the Salvation Express some 1000 miles up north to take 10 doctors and dentists to help in a very poor region of Brazil. We will be assisting a Christian ministry up there for 7 days.
God bless you and may you have a great new year!

Prayer request
Please pray about the possibility os the Salvation Express aquireing a boat on the San Francisco River. This has been a dream of the board for some years. The San Francisco River is over 1700 miles long.

The goal would be to assist poor communities on a stretch of 250 miles of river. The boat would serve as a floating Seminary, School, Health Clicnic and agricultura consulting office. It is a big project way beyond our power, that is why the board feels it is from God. Just as God told Gideon:
"The LORD said to Gideon, "You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. In order that Israel may not boast against me that her own strength has saved her," Judges 7:2
The things God has for us are way out of our confort zone and well beyond our power or capability!
This is the boat that is in view for sale. Of course it is way over-priced and we do not have the funds but we are praying for God to give us the boat. It is big enough as well as versitale enough. So keep us in your prayers and remenber that God's plan for your life is way beyond your reach so that you must depend on Him and when you look back one day that you may say," The Lord did amazing things!"
News update
Hello everyone! Our trip to the Machakali reservation was cancelled due to some requirements the indians made. They wanted to distribute the food we took themselves and all clothing donated had to be brand new. Since those two requirements are out of our reach we postponed the trip till next year. After all our goal is to evangelize and help those who are poor, since such requirements were made these folks did not seem to needy. Hopefully next year it will work out to visit this area!
