Wow, what a trip! I’ve thought about one of my
granddaughter’s favorite books, Where The Wild Things Are, many times
this week. I’m now resting in the shade in the village of Cola de Cajon. Our
team has just finished up over thirty hours of hiking in the remote Honduran
jungles. This hiking, along with ten hours in four-wheel drive trucks and eight
hours in dugout canoes, was necessary for our Extreme Missionary Adventures team
to reach the villages where we conducted the first tests of TribalConnection, a
live two way video link between needy people in isolated locations and people in
the United States willing to help meet these needs.
