I never thought I'd get to spend more than 1 night in the jungle (remember Tingo Maria a few weeks ago?). Then I got invited to attend a New Testament dedication on the Chambira River, deep in the northern Amazon region of Peru. What an honor! We flew from Lima to Iquitos on Easter Sunday morning and traveled by boat for 2 days to reach the Urarina village of Nueva Esperanza. For two days we were docked at the village, spending time with the Urarina, dedicating the New Testament, and participating in the first church service in this village.It had been 10 years since Ron and Phyllis had been able to visit the home of the Urarina. The story of their almost 60 years with the Urarina, recovery from life-theatening illnesses and accidents, and the sacrifice of their Urarina translators demonstrate how this New Testament and this dedication trip were miracles not accomplished by human hands.
