Pucallpa

Most of you have probably already heard, but we are in Pucallpa. It is very Hot. Mel Miller has an alarm clock which tells the temperature and it is reading 87 degrees in his room. We arrived here today around 100pm. We got checked in and headed to the church. We rode in three-wheel motorcycles that look like "rickshaws". The streets are crazy. The motorized vehicles have the right of way, and they weave in and out to get where they are going. We had lunch in a nice place just down from the church and then came back for a breakdown of what the week is going to look like. We are divided into three groups- Construction, Clinic, and Impact. Our real work does not begin until tomorrow (02/13/2010), but we spent a lot of time today sorting all of the meds. We are excited about tomorrow and continue to covet your prayers. Never forget that all of you are a part of this. Those from California loved their notes and were truly honored to know that they had been adopted and were being prayed for.

Matthew 4:23-25 speaks of Jesus healing the sick and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom. Our goal for tomorrow is to meet the physical needs of those who come to the clinic seeking medical attention, but as you read Matthew notice that is not where Jesus stopped. He healed them physically, but He also met their needs spiritually. Whether you are from Ohio, California, or Peru, it makes no difference. Jesus is the only one who can completely meet the needs in our lives. Without Him none of us can ever be healed. Maybe we all need a clinic every now and then. be blessed
