Ephesians 4:32
Dear family,
Sunday was a great day for our team as we were privileged to worship with the missionaries and the Awa people that they serve. We gathered up on top of the ridge where Kevin and Kathy Bruce as well as Andy and Chrissey Shaub live. About twenty five Awa that live in the area worshipped our Lord in song, and then heard a great message on forgiveness, provided by Kevin. Prompted by a recent crisis in the church, the gathered body received teaching from Luke as well as Ephesians.
Following the service, we all enjoyed lunch and the great views from the missionaries' homes. I enjoyed watching a huge grasshopper make its way along the gutter at the backside of the home, and I also enjoyed perspectives on American life by 12 year old Leeann Schaub.
We saw where the government has now extended the road to Rio Verde yet further by about five miles to the remote community of Palmira. The team is hoping to hold a medical clinic in that community next year.
After lunch, we all went back down the ridge to Rio Verde where we conducted the first day of clinic for the Awa. We saw about sixty people, including several cases of pneumonia, as well as scabies, head lice and parasites. We anticipate a busy day on Monday.
Blessed by our Father's forgiveness,
Tim
