We thought you all would like to actually see we made it all in one piece. We went yesterday to see the 'Meeting of the Rivers' where the Tapajos River and the Amazon River come together. The Amazon is muddy and the Tapajos is absolutely clear. They stay separated for miles due to the difference in temperature and is amazing to see God's Creation.
We also had the opportunity to tour their water filtration systems and as you can imagine, water born diseases are killing are brothers and sisters in the Amazon River Basins at an alarming rate. These villages are a max of 200-300 people. Their sense of community is so great that something as simple as sharing the same cup can bring death and devastation to many. Our prayer is that the Hope Epedimic will impact this region and we can come alongside our fellow Christians to bring drinkable water as they share the news of living water.
Praying for you! Great blog. Thanks for taking the time to post. Hugs to Stacy for me. Well hugs to all of you, for that matter!

ReplyDeleteMyself and five others from my church will be leaving for Brazil April 16th to work with Project Amazon! I was so excited to stumble upon a Twitter post and then to this! I would love to chat with you- ask some questions- before we head out next month. If you would be willing to share you can connect with me on FaceBook: Martha Karaman (Syracuse, NY area)or on Twitter but I'm new to that and don't know what I'm doing- but I'll try :) I will be praying for your team while you are there and following your blog. Thanks for sharing!
