The Story of Benjamin -- July 2008
This is a story about Benjamin, who lives in a small village, one of thousands, along the flood-swollen Amazon River. Benjamin listened politely as one member of our Mission Team (of four) from Florida explained the Gospel to his family using an Evangicube. Our translator, Marcia, had explained that we came from the “other” America to tell them about Jesus.
Bradley's Story - July 2008
Bradley Dorrill -- Sarasota Baptist Church
The Highlight of this trip is difficult to pinpoint because so much of it is unique and cool. I enjoy working as a team, the body of Christ, to accomplish the Great Commission. It is great to have all of the logistics worked out so that we can just get off the boat and minister. It is good to be able to serve without hindrance to ourselves or those we minister to. The food was great, the crew is very likable, and the fellowship was sweet.
Jerry Wolfe The highlights of the voyage along the Amazon were the people and their lives. Visiting floating homes gave incite into the hard life along the river living day to day, depending upon fishing or farming. Two of the many visits are as follows: One home had three cousins living together and after explaining the gospel via the E-Cube; all three accepted Christ. What a joy to experience.
