There are literally hundreds of Christians living in the jungles throughout the world that have a heart to take Gods word to their brothers and sisters that live in local villages. These people are not transplanted North Americans with large budgets and supporters giving financial aid every month. These people have grown up in Jungle villages, They are members of the Yagua, Shuar, Waodroni and many other small tribes and they have the same desire as you and I to see their friends and neighbors come to know the lord.

What they don't have is an income, The jungle provides their daily nutritional needs. It even provides the shelter they need. But without money, things like basic transportation to neighboring villages is a luxury. Sure they could walk, but not all villages are connected by trails and how far could you really get on foot? Even when they get to another village they are not always welcome to stay, it takes resources away from others to put a stranger up and feed them.

This ministry was created to meet the transportation needs of our Evangelistic brothers in the jungle. It does not end there though. These people need training on the maintenance and repair of their evangelistic tools. They need skills that will make them welcome in other villages
.....Please imagine this; You are a member of the U'wa tribe, and as you sit by the river wondering what spirit caused your troubles of this day. You notice a dugout coming near with a native like yourself onboard. When he lands, you treat him well because it is odd that someone like yourself would have a motor on a dugout. This stranger must be important to have such things. This stranger speaks well and you listen because he is like you, he knows the jungle, he knows your struggles, he thinks like you and he has Good News!!

A North American missionary will spend years to get to the point of trust that a tribal evangelist can reach in a few moments. In that time dozens will die of snake bites and disease. In that time thousands of dollars will be spent for support for North Americans who may never get used to jungle living.  Empowering believers that are in place is a smart thing to do and is much more effective and lots cheaper!!
