VLM's basic operational goal in the northeast for 2010 is the establishment of a mission base that can reach people by boat, dirt bike, horse-back, and even air to minister to people's needs. These Amazon Basin Communities receive little or no attention compared to those who live in Bolivia's cities and towns. They can be as small as twelve people. Few of them exceed a population of one hundred persons. Yet such communities make-up over half of the population of 23,000 in this remote province...
A timely contact was made with Rodolfo & Jenny Arredondo; the former pastors of Rivers of Living Waters Church Bella Vista; presently pastoring a church in Baure. The founders of a three-year project designed to strategically evangelize 2,000 children directly and 7,000 family members indirectly within the Province of Itenez; these local pastors have graciously agreed to work with us in establishing a local mission network in the area as we work with them to reach these children and their families.
We arrived to Bella Vista in the pictures above (and many other places) on a used dirt bike purchased with donations. We covet both your prayers and support. In reality; we need both; because these two things work in concert to create the music of the Gospel shared with the lost in these remote parts.
