In March Team Cultivate Nashville, led by Mike Taylor and Mark Jones, joined Pastor Eli on one of our Supply the River trips (see trip video here). During their trip along the Amazon River they were able to minister to and bring the hope of Christ to 7 villages. This included preaching the gospel message, discipleship, praying with and encouraging local missionaries, and supplying 300 families with food for a week. Overall, they were able to minister to nearly 500 people with many receiving Christ as Saviour!
Mike has expressed that they very much felt the Lord’s leadership during their time on the River. In one of the villages there was no church and no pastor, yet 50 people showed up to greet them and 35 attended a worship service! In that same village they were also able to lead a woman to Christ during a visit in her home! Praise the Lord! Mike also feels that God may be calling Cultivate to return and continue to work in 3 of the villages.
Please continue to pray for Cultivate Church and their leaders as they continue to look for opportunities to share the Hope of Christ in the West Amazon Basin of Brazil.
