I'm writing just from the Pucallpa, a Peruvian jungle city. I just came two days ago and I have been witnessing how much affortunated we are, even with a $4 a gallon country. I have been training different tribes leaders from the Cashibos cacataibos, Shipibos, Aguarunas, and many more. I brought to them the Discipleship II material( KCBT) and they are so grateful that a brother from other country is ministering their needs...These are really poor people....helpless....only one hope...JESUS!!!! Elie Weisle said; " The opposite of the faith is not the heresy, is the indifference" ...We have the opportunity of help to plant around 15 churches at the different indian villages around the Ucayali river....can I get worry about the gas price in Florida? Are we indifferent? We can do so MUCH with just a little....if we just partner.... Blessings Pastor Martin Vargas Dear pastor Jeff:

Television news is the worst, and I really try and avoid that. One station in particular here in KC loves to roll in the muck, trying to scare me about everything. That is easy to avoid. I have the same visions of the 2nd great depression... I keep picturing us living in some shantytown begging for food. I thank God I have had the opportunity to see real poverty around the world and see how strong Christians deal with having so little but living so well. Not with televisions and cars but with the comfort that God is taking care of them. I take exception to the quote about the "wife keeping me away from God". I understand the concept but in my personel experience God put one great gal in my path and used her to get to me and keep me straight (along with a good pastor or two). There are positves to $4 gas... I ride my bike more and people are consuming less junk. Amanda has some good insight on this at http://hiddenart.wordpress.com/ Well it's time for me to drive my SUV 2 miles to the YMCA so I can run on a treadmill for 4 miles :) thanks for the post I find the less I read the news, the happier I am, yet I am drawn back to it, just like slowing to see a car wreck.

But in regard to disposable income, many have seen their disposables disposed. And may I take you from the sublime to the $4.00 gasoline. Patronizing the Mission, KS, Hy-Vee pharmacy yields disposable cents-off-a-gallon receipts, redeemable at their convenience store in the front of their Mega-store; it varies from 2 cents off, upward to a rare . . . well, your mom just got a 10-cents-off receipt from buying her prescription and she's treating it like a Krugerrand.
