Day 5 - Continuing Progress

Before we share the Wednesday's events, allow us to share a little about the South American Mission and SAMAIR staff.  These men and women are daily heeding our Lord's call to reach those who have not yet heard the Gospel. They work diligently to meet the spiritual and physical needs of indigenous tribes, modern citizens,  and fellow missionaries in eastern Peru. We are all impressed with the breadth of God's reach through this team. It is our honor to work alongside them.

 
Day 5 found us continuing our work on the terminal bathroom and around the hangar.  SAMAIR base Operations Director Bryce Fonda is our supervisor of sorts, keeping us apprised of our service priorities.  He is a good leader and a true gentleman.

We worked until lunch, and then drove into Pucallpa with Marilyn and Dave to learn about the city.  We visited the Pregnancy Care Center that their daughter, Stephanie, founded six years ago.  Stephanie, Marilyn, and local volunteers counsel pregnant women who are considering abortion, or who have had an abortion and are struggling with the guilt.





Afterward we toured the South America Mission base in Pucallpa.  It includes SAM Academy for missionary children, missionary housing, and the local Mil Palmeras church.  We attended a weekly prayer meeting with SAM and SAMAIR staff and their families.
