God’s Faithfulness on the Amazon River
Juan Alan, our International Partners Director, and his wife, Leonor, were discussing next steps on their route in the Hospital Boat along the Amazon River. Juan Alan suggested, “Let’s go to the Yavary River, we haven’t been there in years!” They left the shore for the Yavary River, trusting the Lord that He would guide them.
They arrived in the first town, called Islandia. The people there were not expecting them, but they were happy that the Hospital Boat arrived. Juan Alan met with the local authorities there and they mapped out a good route for the Hospital Boat to travel on.
That evening, Juan Alan asked God, “Lord, why this detour?”. He remembered then that the Yavary River was where he did his first-ever Project with MMI in the Amazon. He looked for some photos from that Project Team in June 2011. He quickly realized that they were about to follow the exact same route on the exact same dates as his first Project in the Amazon. He reflected on how much God had blessed this ministry since that first project, 13 years ago that day. They went on to serve 1,407 patients on this Project.
