Jungle Kids for Christ Info and Support

“Come, all you who are thirsty, 
    come to the waters; 
and you who have no money,
    come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk 
    without money and without cost. 
Why spend money on what is not bread,
    and your labor on what does not satisfy?"
Isaiah 55:1-2

I did a little excited dance about AWEfull life.  Director Roberto Davalos called on behalf of Jungle Kids for Christ and the work I will be doing this year.  

"The vision of Jungle Kids for Christ is to rescue the children of the jungle of Ecuador and embrace them in a loving Christ centered environment so that they will become what God intended them to become-children of light, followers of Christ."

I will be living in Misahualli, a jungle town in the Amazon, with a few other missionaries.  As far as I know, I will be teaching science and english to different grades (more updates about the details of this), helping with whatever other work the organization needs, showing God's love and reaching those who are thirsty for something more than this world can satisfy.  I have been giddy today as I plan crazy games and songs for learning english.  (Please comment with any fun and engaging teaching ideas, I would love to use your ideas and creativity).  

This trip provides me with the opportunity to meet physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of a community that is in need.  I greatly need prayer  for myself, other missionaries and leaders in the organization, the community, and anyone that will meet God through me.  I believe in the power of prayer and God's answers to these prayers.  I would ask that you pray for safety, good health, smooth travel, and financial support.  

If you feel led to support me financially in this mission, I would be very grateful.  I need to raise money for housing and other expenses, donations for the children, and the work the organization is doing for the Lord.  I am currently in the process of linking paypal to this blog so you can make contributions online.  Below is a way you can contribute using a traditional mail method: Please reference Keri Carpenter but write all checks out to Jungle Kids for Christ.
