Face Time

We got to talk to our guys tonight on Face Time. Technology is such a wonderful thing! They are getting everything ready to leave at 5 in the morning to take the 7-8 hour trip to the village. They asked for extra prayer because there have been threats of road blocks, which is why they are leaving so early. In Bolivia, there is a big gap between the rich and the poor and a lot of political friction between 2 parties. So... when the poorer class party wants the government to do something, they stage road blocks in protest. This delayed our team by about 27 hours a couple of years ago. (And definitely increased the adventure aspect of the trip, driving through winding dirt roads and holding the bus up around curves!) This year, they are hoping to get through ahead of any road blocks, so keep them in your prayers. The only contact we will have the next 5 days will be through a satellite phone. Jason said that he would let us know that they made it safely, but that is probably all we will hear while they are in the village...in tents...with no electricity...or running water....remember that's why they are there drilling a well! This will have a huge impact on this village!! Be praying for their safety and for God to prepare the hearts of the people of the village to receive His word! So, on the night before they enter the jungles of Bolivia, to prepare for all the ministry they are going to have there, our boys are watching the Mavericks in Spanish!!! Yay Mavericks!!! That's all for now! I will keep you updated as I hear anything else! Thanks for your prayers! -Stephanie
