I have put together this short clip to show what we are doing.
We are heading into a new season of another transition. As the rainy season approaches the remote area we live in(the community of Maribel) gets very difficult to travel in and out of. The roads become impassable and our poor truck gets a major workout each trip we take. We have plans to move to the city closest to Maribel called Uruara'. It's 3 hours when roads are good from Maribel. It's the largest city on the Transamazon next to Altamira. Stores, internet, schools and hospital. This isn't Maribel! Maribel is 5 houses, no churches, no health post, no power or phone lines and no internet, but the door to a work that God has called us to. The goal for us to minister here is working and living in Maribel for the dry season(June-December) and visiting bi-monthly in the rainy season(Jan-June). We have used this first season to build relationships with the river folks who live in Maribel and on the Iriri river. Our goal now is for Clyde to go in at least 2 times a month for a week at a time to disciple, have church and travel to the communities that are also hungry for the Word.
On the other weeks he is with us in Uruara' we'll be working together with a Brazilian couple to start home groups and eventually plant a church that will oversee the work in Maribel and on the Iriri river as well as the highways and biways into Uruara'.
We are excited about this as it means we are making efforts to make more disciples who can raise up more Jesus Lover's.
Pray with us as we make this transition and initiate the home groups in Uruara'.
Our main needs right now is $10K to build a ministry house where our family can live and others can visit when we are not there in the rainy season.

Blessings to you and your families as you also make a new start in 2011!
In His Service,
Clyde and Kelsie Bergquist
