Dear friends, as many of you may know, the Ucayali region of Peru is in a state of emergency as the abundant rainy season this year is causing many losses. Many fields have been devastated by the force of the flooded rivers and people are evacuating to higher ground in these areas.

OFASA, our airbase, is also suffering the results of the flood. People from this area say that the water has never risen to the level it is currently at. Senamhi (the Peruvian weather forecasting station) predicts that the rains will continue to fall with more force throughout the month of March which means that the water will continue to rise.
I want to show you some pictures of our base right now. The water has flooded all the buildings on the shore of Lake Yarinacocha. One building has already collapsed because its concrete base has been eroded and now you can only see the roof that has fallen down to the water level.
I want to ask you to join us in prayer as the flood is affecting many people in this region. I also found out today that some of the people of San Jose (the village that borders our airbase) are trying to invade our land with the pretext that the flood has left them without homes, but it’s not true. They are already invading two other large sites that are not flooded and are trying to take advantage of the situation to take other properties and sell them for profit. Please pray for this mission base as the enemy of souls is looking for a way to take away this land.
