PrayerGram June 17

Dear Friends and Family,

Your ministry partners at Amazon R.A.C.E. are very appreciative of your prayers.

The Amazon basin is flooding. The news is saying this is the worst flood since 1953. We have included some pictures of flooded areas so you can see and pray.

Ribeirinhos (river people) are not complaining. Their lives are dependent on the rivers, whether they are up or down. Every year there is a cycle of low and high water. This season is very high. Entire communities have moved while others have little or no flooding and hence lots of people temporarily living with families or in schools. Some people have been flooded out of their homes for two months. They expect to return to their houses in another two months. The rivers in our area normally crest the last week of June or the first couple of days in July.

Please pray for churches, believing family members and all believers to make the most of every opportunity during the flood. Ask the LORD to teach all of us to be as utterly dependent and accepting of HIM as Ribeirinhos are of the rivers. (We can learn about simple living and trust from Ribeirinhos.)

This is missions focus month for many Baptist churches in Brazil. We are receiving invitations to speak at youth groups and in churches.

Please pray for obedience to the HOLY SPIRIT’s leading as we preach, share and speak in churches. Ask the LORD of the Harvest to send out more workers ready to make disciples that make disciples.

In HIS Grip,

Your Amazon R.A.C.E. Team
