Petit Update

5/15/2018

0 Comments

 
Jeff left for Peru last week and landed in Lima.  From there, he flew to Puerto Maldonado (located close to the Brazilian border) and on to Oceania a couple of hours away.  The plan was to leave Friday on a boat to travel 2-3 days up the river to a community that he had visited in February. On Friday morning it was raining way too hard to leave.  Saturday morning it was noticed that the boat motor wasn't functioning properly and was in need of repair.  On Sunday morning, all excited and boats loaded ( 1 boat was full of supplies), they received notice just before taking off that a flash flood was coming down the river.  1 more day of delay, but praise the Lord they were not in the middle of their trip being hit by the flash flood!!  Monday morning, success!
During the visit in February Jeff, along with some of the natives bushwhacked a 3/4 mile trail through the jungle from the river to the village and built the water purification system. This time returning with all the water pipe plan to connect and have clean water! Please pray for that to be completed and successful. Thanks to all who have supported this work!

Missionary Training
It's a three step process
First- An Interview= We would like to get to know your interests, background and current level of preparedness. A letter of RECOMMENDATION from your  spiritual leaders would help.
Second- A Mission trip= You will be invited to go on some mission trips with seasoned missionary trainers,        where you will experience first hand what it is like to be a missionary in different types of locations.             Your trainer will prepare you for your trip and guide you through each step of the journey. You will            experience the people and cultures of ancient or exotic lands. You will learn what their needs and              struggles are . You will learn how to reach them with several tools of evangelism and community                  service. They will be changed by knowing you and you will be changed by knowing them. By                               the end of the  trips you will know where God wants you to serve. You will be required to pay only your own expenses for each trip, which you will fund by asking for sponsorship from people you know.   
​  Third- Complete an online course= This is a basic course on theology, practical christian living and the do's or don't of the missionary life. Previous biblical training would make this course easy.
Placement- upon completing these three steps in a satisfactory manor, you will be placed on the mission            field where God wants you to serve. You will be given counsel as to how to increase your support                base by INCREASING the number of sponsors that support your efforts. You will be aided in the efforts of fundraising with Hope For Mexico's backing, material non-profit status.
Supervision and guidance- You will be assisted by HFMM on every step of your service. You will have a                      mission supervisor that will encourage you, continue to train you and counsel you through the bumps of missionary work.
