Off to Imbaimadai in the Jungle Interior of Guyana

Waterfall in the jungle interior

Flying out tomorrow on the one hour flight in the smallest plane I will have ever been on. Tonight we are weighing all our bags and ourselves as they need to know exactly the weight of everything for such a small plane.  The flight will take us over the jungle towards Imbaimadai an Amerindian town situated near the mountains deep in the jungle interior of Guyana which is an area part of the Amazon Basin. Imbaimadai is a small gold and diamond mining town far in the jungle interior of Guyana. We will be there for two weeks working to help build and improve houses in the area as well as helping out in the local school, community in many practical ways and helping to take a few church services. During the two weeks we will be travelling up to Akwioh tribe villages in the jungle and helping out in their communities also.

• Please pray for protection from illnesses, against animals particularly from snake bites and venomous spiders. The hospital is very small there and apparently “sometimes has anti-snake venom, sometimes it doesnt”!
• That we be a good example to the community regardless of times where we are on or off duty making as much of the “off duty” times to help and encourage others as the on duty times.
• Please pray for safety when travelling in small planes, canoes and other methods of transport.
• Team Unity.
