reaching out

Dear friends and family,
This past July I went to The Amazon Jungle in Brazil on a missions trip with my church. It was an incredible experience. There were twenty-two of us, plus the crew of the boat where we lived for 10 days. We traveled to four villages of the tribal people that live in the Amazon Valley. They are called the Satare-Maues. At each village we visited, we built them a structure of their choice. This is sometimes a shelter for the generator, or a hut for a widow or a latrine. We also provide dental services and medical services to the villages. This is much needed since the nearest cities are several days travel. The one thing the people enjoy the most though is Vacation Bible School. Each day all the children and many of the adults crowd the VBS area to learn about the love of God. They are very eager to learn more about Jesus Christ.
It was wonderful getting to know The Satare people. I had so many amazing experiences and left there closer to God.
I am planning to go again this June. The cost of the trip is $2500. I am reaching out to you to ask if can help me to go again by raising the money. This money covers plane fare, food, medical and construction supplies, and of course the Boat and crew. It is a great bargain and the money does so much good for so many people.
First of all I ask you to pray for me and for the rest of Team Amazon. Secondly, I ask that if you are able you could send a donation. You can make checks payable to First Baptist Church of Orlando. Put a note on the memo section that it is for Donna Campbell Amazon Trip. You can mail the check to me. (e-mail me if you need my address) or to the Church. Jim Nassar c/o First Baptist Church of Orlando 3000 South John Young Parkway Orlando FL 32805. Just don't forget to include my name in the memo line.
If you would like more information about Team Amazon and the trips go to www.TeamAmazon.org If you have any questions you can e-mail me or you can e-mail Jim Nassar at JimNassar@FBCOrlando.org
Thank you,
