The Jungle was quite an experience. After we landed in Quito Ecuador, early the next morning we took a 5 hour drive to the city of Shell, and then Mark and I boarded a 5 seat Cessna airplane and we flew into the jungle. When we landed on our little grass runway, we got out of the plane to see a warm welcome by so many wonderful Indian people.
This was a very exciting opportunity to be in the jungle, and to carry the Gospel message to this remote tribe. We had no clean water and very few supplies with us, due to the weight limits on the airplane. We had to boil our water, it was so hot and all we had to drink was warm water. We ate mostly Bananas, fried Bananas were a special treat!
Word of Life ministries gatherd about 200 young people for a youth camp in the jungle. These people came from all over the jungle, some walked for 4 days to get there, others came 8 hours by canoe. What a priveledge it was to be there and preach the good news of Jesus Christ.
