ASSAULTED


We can never stress enough about praying for travel mercies. On Monday, Pancho, Gonzalo (the Achuar pastor) and Enoc took off on their journey to Tarapoto. Pancho and Gonzalo headed from there to Lima and Enoc to Pucallpa. Pancho and Gonzalo, as far as we know (since we haven’t heard from them), made it ok to Lima for their meeting.

Enoc called us this morning saying that he had been assaulted on the road from Tarapoto to Pucallpa. They took everything he had but the clothes on his back. This is the area where the Shining Path works to protect the drug growers. As US citizens we’ve been told never to be on this road. Please pray for him. He is pretty shook up and since they took all of his money now he will probably have to return here instead of going to the south to be with the Ashaninka Indians. His family is sending him some money. Jesus will be traveling that same road this week. Please pray for him that he won’t be assaulted and that he can make it before the strike starts.
