God is moving in the Amazon Jungle of Peru and He is using JungleMaster Ministries to forward His purpose. As I recently spent a few hours walking beside a young Pastor named Andy in the village of Roca Fuerte, this truth was cemented in my mind.
When my team arrived in Roca Fuerte the greeting was similar to other villages; crowds on the bank, kids and adults rushing to greet us and carry our bags. Yet we immediately felt something different here—a heaviness that oppressed us. We had come to serve and encourage Pastor Andy, but we had no idea how much it would demand of us.
Pastor Andy’s requests seemed simple—join him in praying for his parishioners. Three-year-old Rosa who was ill and out of medication. Walter, a young worship leader tormented by deep despair that confined him to his bed. Lamar, a man who had spent 10 months lying on a wooden floor suffering from a heart condition and ulcers. Magaline, Chandler, and countless more.
As I stood with Pastor Andy, lifting the needs of his people up to God, I was overwhelmed by the difficulty of bearing the burden of these people, something Andy and the pastors of this region do daily.
JungleMaster Ministries is called to stand beside pastors like Andy and lift their arms as they fight on the front lines of the battle being waged for the souls of this region. These pastors feel a strong calling to bring the hope of the Gospel to every person in the Amazon, and they are the right ones to do it. As they seek to meet physical and spiritual needs of their people, our role is to empower, encourage and equip them.
We’ve heard it said the local church is the hope of the world. I know this is true in the jungle and I am convinced that pastors like Andy are the catalysts for change. Standing beside them is our privilege and the best way to reach the peoples of the jungle for Christ!
Our annual Amazon Missions festival brings world class leadership to the farthest parts of the jungle to teach and encourage these pastors for three days. This is the only time they have to receive a formal biblical education and encouragement. This event lifts up and encourages pastors like Andy. They can return to their villages refreshed and ready for the challenges of jungle ministry. In 2014 we unite 60 plus Churches and their leadership, bringing 1000 jungle leaders to learn from teachers from Argentina, Mexico, Peru and the US. This will be the 5th Missions Festival that we have sponsered.
Don’t miss this opportunity to join in the work God is doing in this region of the world to bring the Hope of Jesus to the lost and desperate.
