So, I went to drop off Julie Anne to our sister church IBB, five minutes down the road on a Friday. I came back two days later only to pray over the teams as they prepared to leave. They had set aside that weekend for some intense training to practice their dramas and everything else needed to make the trip successful.

So, picture this, an awesome team of young people with experienced leaders and lots of excitment and anticipation in the air. Next thing I know I’m getting updates via email. Julie Anne flew into Lima on July 2 and left to Iquitos the next day to prepare for a boat trip on the Amazon a few days later. Here is an update she sent to us. (And just in case you wonder about her punctuation, she was using a Spanish Keyboard, ha!) We’ll probably hear from her again next week… Keep on lifting her and her team up! This is an awesome and powerful time!! (I so wish I was there… don’t you?! )

“Hey guys!!

Its so new and exciting here! taking lots of pictures don{t worry. we had to stay overnight last night in a hotel because our plane got delayed til the morning, so we{ve been in route for 24 hours! but, we{re here checked into our hotel. we just got back from a restaurant where we ate yummy chicken! the best rosted chicken ive ever had, papas fritas (french fries and Inca Cola!...
