The Three Amigos

For all our YWAM friends, here is a mini reunion with Bill McQuilkin, George VanRegenmorter, and Dale. It was so awesome to spend time ministering with those from our class in California, and such an awesome realization that these friendships are forever. Bill blessed us so much by watching our house while we returned to the states, and when we flew back Elaine and George came along. We're so thankful that we pray about a need, and the Lord provides people to help. Elaine is an RN, and was willing to do teachings on primary health care, and the people were really amazed at how germs are the things that cause illness in our bodies. She taught on dental hygiene, the importance of washing to prevent the spread of germs, and was told that they thought they got sick from curses. We hope that we will be able to continue to do teachings, and add some new material every month. Part of what we learned when teaching on nutrition, is the limited diet that they have. Hunger, and lack of nutricious foods is epidemic here. We're beginning a community garden to try and teach how to garden, and to also teach which foods will provide the nutrients their bodies need to stay healthy. It isn't as easy to garden here as we thought it would be. Rain forest land is really not fertile. The trees are so lush due to the microrganisms that break down on the very top few inches of soil, from the heat and rain. Pray that we'll be able to find ways to enrich the soil with renewable resources, and that seeds would sprout and not be eaten by ants!!
