Dear Prayer Warriors,

Greetings from Iquitos! Thank you for your prayers. Yes, I am back in the hot jungles of Peru. It seems strange to come back for such a short time, just 2 and 1/2 weeks here in Iquitos. In Lima we had a great conference learning about discipleship and working together better as a team. After the conference, I was able to visit the deaf church there in Lima. Many of the deaf told me that they had been praying for me, and I was given opportunity to share a testimony of God's work in my life. In Lima I was also able to get some paperwork done on my residency papers.

The past couple of days here in Iquitos have been ones of readjustment. It has been very hot and humid as well. I attended Efata Baptist Church Wed. night and enjoyed the deaf who were there. Tonight, Lord willing, we will have two nights and a morning of special meetings with evangelist Jim Sloan. Please pray for good attendance and open hearts, as well as anointing of the Holy Spirit on our speaker. As soon as I finish sending this message I plan to visit a couple of my deaf friends to make sure they know about the meetings.

Thank you again for praying. May the Lord continue to encourage you and me as we look to Him!

Your sister in Christ,

Lynn Porter
