Nice looking people, Sis. Alvear. Who are they?

[Sister Alvear]

Our son Arlei and wife Gilene. These are the ones that are moving to the jungle area. Sunday he is taking a van load of brothers up there once again to work on our church we are building. Please pray for them. This is a faith ministry.
Thanks...

Making a road in the jungle...

[TalkLady]

Are they making a road through the jungle?...Or getting ready to plant a garden or what? I guess planting a garden might not work. Would the animals eat the plants? I am "ignorant of the ways of the jungle."

Arlei´s real mother was a missionary from our Brazilian church. She was poisoned in Paraguay many years ago by people who hated christians. We took her 5 children she left and raised them. His father had left his mother when she became a believer. Today all 5 children are grown and serve the Lord. I know his real mother would be so proud of him...and Brother Alvear and I are proud of him and his family.

They are making a road to the place where they dug a well maybe a mile or so from this point. It is very rough terrian.
They hand dug the well it is now over 60 feet deep!

Sister Alvear,

I am so enjoying all of these pictures that you've been posting. They go a long ways toward helping to make your ministry more "real" to all of us :) Thanks for taking the time to share!!

By the way, how many children have you raised??? How many of your own and then how many 'adopted'???

[Sister Alvear]

You are so welcome...Now you have faces with names...love you folks lots.
