Embera Mission - Sambu 2012

 

Even though everything we go through in our life and in our walk with Christ Jesus, His love gives us strength and purpose to continue, and to finish our mission trip for 2012. We left, heading to the Embera territory of Sambu, where my wife, Norelia is from. She was sad that she could not go with our team. We visited three villages along the banks of the river for 10 days. Our objective was exploratory in nature and at the same time it was to make the love of Christ known to our Embera people.

We did workshops for youth, for families, and for missions in the church there. We used audio/visual methods and presented the Jesus film in Embera. During the week, we prayed for families and for youth that faced huge challenges in their lives with alcohol, drugs, and even involvement with the guerilla warfare. We also prayed for our land that God would guide us as to where the center of operations would be for the future Egoro Djiwidi Ministries location. We believe this region will be the home for our family and mission for the long term.
