Last week we shared a bit about the Roseburg Integrated Ministries Team and the church planting work they helped with in Tres Rios. After spending one day at a local school, the team spent another day in the community of Eulalia. The team and the local leaders split into groups to help with park clean up, trash pick up in the streets and children’s activities. It was a full day of ministry ending with the showing of the Jesus Film under a tent in the rain. It was a great day!

Trash clean up and cutting grass with machetes - the Latin American way!
The Jesus Film in the rain with a great turnout!

The team also worked on the Regional Office Building on the seminary campus. They painted a huge outside wall two times, and painted the entire lower level of the building two times.
Some folks helped to prepare a missionary home for painting by cutting and filling the cracks in the concrete walls.
We enjoyed a great tour day as well and I (Shelley) saw something I had not yet seen: a sloth! You can’t see his head in this photo, but he’s there!
It was a great time with the Roseburg team. We were impressed by their ability to be flexible and adapt to the Latin American way of life (sometimes it moves as slow as this sloth!) They not only blessed us, but blessed the district as they begin to work in the Tres Rios area. It is our prayer that this cell group will grow and become a healthy, vibrant church very soon.
In other news, David is traveling this week with a Jesus Film team from Eastern Kentucky. They will be planting a new church in the area of Liberia and will show the Jesus Film each night, so pray for no rain in the evenings! David will have a full report for us next week on the activities of the KY Team.
Thanks for your prayers! We love and appreciate you all.
God bless,
The Webb Family
