Sorry for not posting

hey everybody,
Sorry I have not been updating my blog lately, but i have been very busy. Last weekend we had a mini-outreach in Iquitos. We worked with a local church and we cleared land for them to build on. We used macheties and shovels. After that we went and put on a presentation a neighborhood. My outreach will be much like this. We will be doing mercy missions, or meeting the physical needs of the people and the church, but we will also be doing drama evangalism. As we travel from town to town we will be hosted by churches. These churches will give us food and have work lined up for us to do. We will be doing drama evangalism in that town and then hooking them up with the church that hosts us. This way the people we reach will be given someone to disciple them. It won´t just be a commitment they made because they saw a drama and then we leave and nothing happened. We are hoping for it to be a changing dicision for these people and the church will support them, because we will not be able to. We got some good new that we recieved a donation that made us able to dig a well for a community along the amazon river. I don´t know all of the details exactly when we will be doing this but it will happen. The base has the equipment and we do it by hand, i am hoping to get pictures of it so i can share it with everyone when i get home. Thank you for your prayers. This week was my birthday, i am now 20. On my birthday only a few people said anything, like they forgot about it, but after lunch they had a surprise party for me. I am going close to all the people here. I am getting used to the cultur and I enjoy it. When i get the intinerary I will post it on here so every one can pray for the town i am in, that would be greatly appreciated. Mom said that people are asking about the blog and I am glad that i can stay connected this way. Another prayer request that i have is for the leadership of the base, they are going through some changes and your prayers will help. My spanish is still rough but i think i am learning. Thank you for all of your prayers and the support you have given me so far.
Love Christopher
