Adventures and Encounters

“Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is
– where life and death, sin and grace, Heaven and Hell converge.” – Robert C. Shannon

Plate Full of Love

I’ve heard the expression many times that something is ‘cooked with love.’ But Sis Yolanda took that to a whole different level recently when she cooked this beautiful and delicious meal for me in her home. At first glance it looks like a regular plate of food. But as she told me the significance of

Delicious Delicacy in the Amazon

These ants (Ukuy in Kichwa) come out once a year. They are a delicacy that the natives love!

Blessings of the Lord

It’s Ann again. Susan has ‘fancy’ outhouses at her jungle churches. Although there’s no running water, they have a regular house commode in them and you just get a bucket of water from the rain barrel to flush. The people in the jungle communities do not have such a luxury, as many have no bathroom
