View Rio Negro Exploration Trip in a larger map
Tomorrow (Thurs. Nov. 19th) I'll be leaving on a two week survey trip of a region in the western Amazon. Tim Kubacki, a fellow missionary, has been wanting to explore this region to see the potential for future work. Since we are asking some of the same questions about our future, I thought it would be a good opportunity. Tim and I, along with his sons Luke and Ben, and another missionary, Chelsea, will be exploring primary 3 cities, and the remote areas around those cities, along the Rio Negro.
After flying to Manaus and spending a few days doing some fact finding, we'll head up-river on a line boat (public transportation) for almost 600 miles to the furthest city, Sao Gabriel. Spending a few days in each city and possibly some of the area around each city, we plan to arrive back in Manaus by Dec. 4th, when Chelsea and I fly back to Altamira. The Kubackis will continue the trip, traveling up the Amazon and exploring several cities for another two weeks.
Please pray that we will not only see the region through our own eyes, but be able to see what God is doing and if we are to play a part in it. Also pray for Brin and the girls staying behind. I'm bummed to be missing Thanksgiving and the girls are going to be in some kind of a parade that they are excited about, but Brin and I both feel this is an important opportunity to seek God and where he might be calling us.
