Indigenous Representatives

3 Indigenous Representatives
(Candoshi, Cocama-Cocamilla and Chayahuita)
Today we, Ken, Irma and I, were able to meet with 3 of the Indigenous representatives that presented before the government yesterday. We spent several hours listening to them and hearing what they had presented for debate before the Peruvian Congress.
They have so many days to collect and present all the facts to the government and this leads to discussion. Since I really don't understand how this all works in the Peruvian government I won't even try to tell you when each step has to be done by. I do know that we all need to really pray for God to intervene between the two groups (Indigenous and government) and for real understanding on both sides to take place. Otherwise, there will be civil war eventually which won't be good for either side nor for the country. So, will you please, please keep them in prayer?!
Thank you.
