For many of you, the boat in the picture is iconic as part of our church planting/water filter project. Toward the end of last year, we took a leap of faith and started a reform project on the Maranata III. The boat was leaking significantly and diminished the ability to deliver water filters. It also increased the risk of problems as the boat travelled further distances with each trip.
By God’s grace and some generous support, we were able to complete the reform and put the boat back into the water. Thanks to all who answered the nudge to support the needed reforms!
When the boat was finished, it moved to the capital city of Belém. There the water filter project will join the church planting efforts in this city. There are tens of thousands of river residents in the surrounding area of Belém in need of clean water. Providing this clean water through donated water filters opens the door for these individuals to receive the love of Jesus in a tangible way.
We are excited about this move and pray that God blesses the efforts of the water filters outreach and the church plant in Belém.

Once again, thank you to all those who have supported this project in the past and those that will continue to support this project in the future.
