We made it back from the jungle yesterday evening, had a great rest last night, an early morning hike to 11,000 feet this morning and the team has solo time, high ropes adventure and a visit to the Equator today before they get ready to leave at 2:40 am tomorrow morning.
Let me share with you a little of what took place on our jungle trip:
Our ministry team sharing the story of salvation with the elementary kids in Rio Negro
Playing games with the 76 elementary students. They loved the parachute games!
We then broke up into smaller groups in the classrooms for crafts, lesson review and time to get to know the students better. I had the privilege of being the interpreter for the 4th and 5th grade class.
At about 12:30 on Tuesday the team was ready to head into the jungle to work on a jungle trail.
The trail work went well and was very muddy, which is VERY normal for the jungle
As you can see, the cleanliness of our group changed between 12:30 and 4:00.
A highlight of our time was yesterday morning, at a beautiful jungle river.
Pastor Sterling baptized 15 students from the team. It was great to hear their testimonies and see what God has been doing in the whole teams lives while they have been here in Ecuador.
This morning, most of the team was up hiking by 4:30 am. We reached the highest point of 11,000 feet on the El Refugio property around 6:00 am. We prayed for the ministry of El Refugio before heading down to breakfast.
Pray for team Geneva as they leave early tomorrow and go back to their "normal" routines, that they will allow God's work in their hearts to continue, and that the seeds they planted here will grow to fruit for the Kingdom of God.
