Medical Ministry November



This was at one of our clinics in the jungle. I was able to win the battle and keep my hat. We are preparing to send a group of doctors down the river to see the Cofan Indians. We are praying that the Lord will help us raise around a $1,000 dollars a month to work along this river. We will need STL to help us buy our boat and motor.

Fulfilling Matthew 28:19-20



We were blessed to baptize people both at the church in Condado and the church at Carpuela. We want to thank you for making this possible.

Amazon Jungle


In November we are going up the Aquarico river to visit the Cofans and Lowland Quichua people with a medical campaign and some Gospel literature. If we have enough medical supplies, we will visit another tribe this time. These trips have always been a blessing to the people. We have people tell us that this is the first time in years that they have lived without any pain. Another example, is the gift of a pair of glasses. Some of the people didn’t realize the world wasn’t blurry. Most of these people are hunters/gathers, and one man told me that for the first time in his life he could see beyond a feet and find better food for his family. If you are interested in contributing to this ongoing project, please email me or send a donation to AGWM, 1445 Boonville Ave., Springfield, MO 65802, and include the account number #221846-9 and class 40.

Tungurahua Volcano Relief


This was our second trip to the volcano area to take medicine, doctors, and food. In partnership with the Ecuadorian Air Force, the people of Ecuador, Calvary Temple of Concord, CA, and the U.S. Assemblies of God, we were able to bring much needed relief to two communities situated below the volcano. Tomorrow, Deanna, our team, and the Air Force again visit another community.
The volcano began erupting on in 1999 and has continued until today. However, the eruption of August 16th, 2006 was devastating to the surrounding communities. The ash from the volcano travels as far as four or five hours away. Deanna and I were visiting Vinces, which located in the Los Rios Province, known for bananas, rice, and cattle, and is three hours away from the volcano, and the city was covered with about a quarter-inch of ash.
