Boat of Hope!

Wednesday night, March 23^rd, a team of valiant missionary minded men boarded the “Boat of Hope”, where we spent the night. We left Thursday morning at 4 a.m. from Pucallpa with almost 10 tons of supplies that were to be given out to our brethren who were victims of this winter’s fierce flooding.

This assistance comes from our kind-hearted brethren from the South Peru Union and ADRA. One hundred and ten food/water ration packages were destined for church members in Peru Projects’ zone along the upper and lower Ucayali River.

We spent three days traveling the fierce waters of the Ucayali to deliver these provisions. It was really gratifying to see the faces of our brethren who received this small help. All of them are in uncertainty as to how they will survive these subsequent months after their fields have been devastated by the flooding.
