Jungle Ministries

So, what's it like to live and serve in the jungle?

The jungle is so exciting to live in a place where everything is designed to eat or be eaten - 

for survival!

These packs of caterpillars sometimes travel by the thousands. 

It is best to leave them alone!

The church bus (aka our truck) is almost always 

packed full of equipment and people!

Bob's godson, Manuel, hand carved a gift for Bob. 

It was jungle boat, complete with oars!

These are the majority of the families at our church, 

"Iglesia Bautista de Pillcopata"

Becky and our niece, Melody! We were getting ready

 to enjoy a special cake with the church to 

celebrate the birthdays that month!

Bob, Alex (and daughter Melody), and Marco 

having prayer for Marco who served with us 

for three months and served us through music.

Sometimes, we get to monkey around. 

Living in the jungle is lots of fun! 

Rainy season in the jungle, surrounded by the beauty of God's creation!

Our area of the jungle is famous for the variety 

of butterflies! Absolutely gorgeous!

We have a half-dozen different varieties of pineapple. 

Each are delicious and distinct!

Bugs, bugs, bugs...

...and more bugs! The jungle is full of them! 

The main mode of transportation: one's own feet! 

They'll take you wherever you want to go!!

We often go help harvest jungle fruit. The main 

product is bananas! We enjoy hundreds of 

different varieties of this healthy fruit!

Our jungle hog, 'el sajino.' Our truck is made to go 

through whatever the jungle can hand us!

The view! In our area, we enjoy the 

blessings of five different rivers. 

It's a gorgeous place to live! 

Harvesting bananas!

More butterflies...too pretty to not include!
