Hey there. 
 
I thank all who have responded with interest in our trips to the Wai-Wai Indian Nation.  As it stands now, we still need several to minister in the areas of medical, teaching and water system installation.  The needs are as follows:
 
Medical - Physicians, Nurses, PA's - First and Second trip
 
Bible Teachers - Second trip
 
Dental - First trip

VBS - First trip
 
Construction - First and Second trip
 
We are still working on the airfare quotes.  Please allow us another week to get that all arranged.  I will contact you as soon as I know the math.
 
I am attaching the original letter for your review.  Even if you have already responded and confirmed you will be joining us, please reply again so we may begin to solidify our plans, ok?

Hey All. 

Just wanted to make everyone aware of a unique opportunity on the horizon.  Many have expressed an interest in joining me in the Wai-Wai Nation whenever we next travelled to that region.  Well, the time for such a trip is now approaching.

The situation that has been on my heart and mind involves medical, dental, Bible teaching, VBS and the laying a water system - All in the community of Inaja.

Due to the logistics, we will need to take two separate teams of 12 volunteers each.  The first team would concentrate more on the medical, VBS and teaching.  The second will lean more toward VBS, teaching and construction.

Due to the level of difficulty involved with transportation, special circumstances and limited numbers, the cost to each individual will be US$ 2,580.00, plus airfare.  There will be an additional commuter flight from Manaus to Parintins.  This will get us about 24 hours closer to our starting destination of Cachoeira Porteira, allowing for two additional days on location.

The trip will be different from most you have been on.  For starters, it involves two days travel aboard open Indian dugouts, negotiating falls and rapids all the way.  Our accommodations on location will be adequate but, as of yet, undetermined.  We will have our own chef as well as essential interpreters and staff.  However, it will be much different than life aboard the AMOR/Beatriz…

The dates for the trips are as follows:

1^st Team – December 28 – January 07, 2010

2^nd Team – January 11 – 21, 2010

Well, there is the opportunity available to the few who will be able to join me.  Please pray about the whole thing, seeking clarity as God chooses to reveal.  I look forward to hearing from each who may feel this is what God may have in mind for your Christmas and New Year’s.

Call or email me if you would seriously consider this special blessing over the holidays.  As always, let me know how I may be of service.  May you continue to be teachable as God leads in the days ahead.
