jennifer harris, one of my roommates from my first year of working in peru with food for the hungry, was in town visiting family, & she stopped by for tea. we hadn't seen each other since 2002! she was meeting heron & shepherd for the first time, but she'd met josh when he came to visit me in pucallpa in '01. she is still living in the jungle, now working with a local church, truly bringing transformation to the local community as well as many amazon river communities through the preaching of the gospel, educational & agricultural programs.
it was such a joy to share our personal journeys over the past decade, & to see that the bond of christ has made us even more like-minded over the years. as is often the case with our friends living in foreign lands, her stories brought so much encouragement to our faith. even the dead have been raised in her midst, in the name of jesus, & josh & i were so fortunate to hear these stories from her lips. jennifer is a faithful saint, & her joy is contagious.
