Welcome to the Jungle

When I say that we go to difficult and remote places, it is no exaggeration. This past Tuesday I began my journey to the Brazilian Amazon jungle. 32 hours and 11 flights later, we are here! This morning when I woke up, I was greeted by a tropical paradise. From my window I can see a huge tributary of the Amazon river that winds its way through the landscape like a python. It is a beautiful land, but also very poor. I am told that it is one of the most poverty stricken areas of Brazil. The people are poor but very hungry for God.



Tonight I will preach in the largest venue available...the local stadium. I will preach a classic Gospel message and then pray for the sick. I am anticipating the miraculous to break out like a pent up geyser and for age old principalities of the air to receive the news...their reign of terror has come to an end, because Jesus is Lord!



Please pray for us. Pray for the crusade tonight, that it would draw the multitudes of lost and sick people to be saved and healed. Pray that there would indeed be a demonstration of Holy Spirit power here that would shake the land and bring an outpouring of salvation deep into the jungles of the Amazon. Finally, please pray for our health and protection.



An update will follow tonight!
