Hi Everyone,
Here's a few more details about my upcoming trip: Leaving tomorrow (Tuesday the 21st)
You can follow a little on the map to your right but it doesn't show all the rivers.
Tomorrow morning I'll be crossing the Essequibo via boat, then taking an hour bus ride to Charity where I will meet pastor Orpha and her friend.
Early Wednesday morning, we plan to take a small boat down the Pameroon River to the Atlantic. In another boat we'll travel about 11 km in the ocean.
Then it's up more rivers, visiting villages and sleeping who knows where along the way.
Eventually we'll spend a couple days in Mabaruma.
We hope to cross over to Venezuela to visit another village that Pastor Orpha wants to help out before heading back the way we came.
The purpose of our journey is to visit the communities and their churches, to encourage them and see their needs. These are all Amerindian villages (different tribes native to the area).
I'm so thankful I get to do this even though the giant tarantulas make me uneasy. Aparently they can be dinner-plate sized there. Might as well be as big as a hippo.
Please pray for safe travels and that I will be an expression of Jesus to my traveling partners and people we meet.
I should be back in Parika on Wednesday the 28th with stories and pictures.
Thanks so much.
