Julia off to Bolivia!

Dear friends,
My 18 year old daughter Julia just left Orlando en route to Bolivia. She and the rest of the members of the three Bolivia Mission:X teams will travel to Miami by bus. They will fly to Santa Cruz tonight, arriving in the morning. Then the two Entre Rios teams (medical and construction) will fly to Tarija and take a long hazardous bus ride down to southern Bolivia, arriving sometime tomorrow night. The medical team will hike out to the mountain villages to do clinics in El Puesto, Entre Rios, Timboy, Tentaguasu, San Josecito and Las Abras. The construction team will be working on the mission in Entre Rios.
Julia has been really busy the past few days labeling about 4,500 medicine baggies. We're hoping all of the medical supplies get there without a problem, since our Haiti teams had much of theirs confiscated at the airport a few weeks ago. The doctor scheduled to go on the Bolivia medical team is not able to go after all, but there are four very experienced nurses, including a sweet lady who switched from the La Paz evangelism team just a few days ago. On July 7, the two Entre Rios team will join the team in La Paz, spend a day resting and sightseeing there, and then return to Orlando on July 9.
Prayer requests? Yes, lots of them!
- for physical endurance and safety during the very strenuous work and travel in Bolivia, where it is winter now
- for protection from malaria, yellow fever, travelers diarrhea, altitude sickness (in La Paz) and bites from the "kissing beetle" which carries a nasty disease
- for unity among the team members and their Bolivian coworkers
- for flexibility and patience
- for everyone to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit
- for opportunities to share the love and grace of Christ
- for God to open eyes of each team member to truths about Himself, themselves, and the body of Christ that they might not ever realize in the U.S.
One of the moms is going to post all of the Entre Rios updates on her blog, and I've been told that people here will be able to post comments for the teams to see. (I think they now have limited Internet access in Entre Rios.) You can check in here: http://www.Tammy-Griffith.blogspot.com.
Finally, I just did a quick web search on "Entre Rios" and "Bolivia" and by divine coincidence came up with blog posts by Carolyn McCulley about her mission trip to Entre Rios and La Paz last month. Carolyn works for Sovereign Grace Ministries, the group of churches which started the Bolivian churches that these Mission:X teams are serving. The blog has a pretty good description of the travel it takes to get there, as well as what the ministry is doing! Check it out at:
PLEASE DO PRAY FOR THESE TEAMS!
Blessings,
Virginia Knowles
