We had a magnificent first day in the Amazon jungle.
We arrived in Iquitos, Peru, early on Sunday morning. One of the most memorable sights in the world is to see the Amazon River stretching out beneath you when you arrive by plane in the jungle. After collecting our bags at the small Iquitos airport and checking in to our 3-star hotel, we immediately set out for Pastor Esteban Silva's church, the largest Christian & Missionary Alliance Church in the jungle, where I spoke to about 1,000 people in the morning services there.
After church we had lunch at Ari's Burger, a well-known joint in Iquitos, where we sampled jungle delicacies such as crocodile nuggets, fried jungle pork, mashed banana balls, fried banana, and homemade jungle sausage. It was all fantastic.
On Sunday night we visited 5 different small groups in the city. The warmth and friendliness of the people was amazing at each place. God's presence was powerfully felt inside each house.
On Monday we will visit the Yagua and Bora tribes, and on Tuesday we will have our baptism, right in the muddy Amazon River.
