‘Go and make disciples’, and, ‘I will be with you always, even until the end’.

Before going to Heaven Jesus gave His disciples an order, and a promise, respectively; ‘Go and make disciples’ and’I will be with you, always, even until the end’. In this way we experience the faithfulness of God to His promise, and His help to obey the Great Commission.

PAUINÍ Base, Alto Purus – Leader Eduardo Magrin (4 couples)

In the village of Kacuri, 10 adults are being discipled and the chief decided to walk with Christ. In January there were three voyages to the village. During the meetings there were about 20 adults, at Sunday School more than 20 children; we visited the homes and worked on the construction of the multifunctional center (place for meetings and projects) that should be completed in March.

We made 2 voyages to Estirão de Humaitá. At the meetings there were about 20 adults, 9 of them are being discipled. We visited the families and held Bible classes with about 15 children. A couple manifested a desire to build a place for the meetings in the Community.

During this time, we made 3 trips to Vila Dedé, where we discipled 10 persons. Besides the Sunday School classes for adults and children, there were 2 meetings with more than 30 adults present at each. A thanksgiving service, with about 100 adults, gathered for the inauguration of a water supply system installed in partnership with Asas de Socorro (Wings of Mercy) mission. Through this system the water is pumped from a well to a 10 thousand litre reservoir, and from there is distributed by a net of more than 1,5kms of underground piping, dug manually, until good quality water reaches 34 families. It took two months of arduous and voluntary work of our teams and the village folk.

CANUTAMA, lower Purus – Leader João Cardoso (1 couple)

The solar panels arrived for the boat and were installed with the help of engineer Joel, who came from Manaus, sent by Missão do Céu {Mission of Heaven), our partner. Now we have light! We also have the equipment needed for the kitchen.

Let us join in making disciples on the Purus! Sail with us!
