Water rising: Emergency need!

A team of college age young adults from Westside Baptist Church will leave for the Amazon on May 10.  Fund raising for this group has been difficult, but the Board of AVM is committed to helping this group fulfill their call to minister.  The funding for the group is NOT the reason for this post.

Word from our Brazilian team is that the water continues to rise along all the tributaries that make up the western Amazon basin.  Predictions are that the water could reach, or exceed, the record levels set in 2009.  Traditional sources of food are being covered and many in these villages are hungry.  To be honest, Amazon Vision is not in the position to be able to offer relief to all who suffer.  Our concern is that when this team arrives, the people of the village will be in need.  It would be wonderful to be able to send a stock of rice and beans along with the good news!  Could you help?  If you would be willing to designate a gift for the purchase of these food stocks, please email don@amazonvisionministries for more details or go to www.amazonvisionministries.com; select the "Get Involved" tab and click "Donate".  Please make sure that you put "Emergency relief" as a note.  God bless you as you ask Him about your need to be involved with this very real need.
