Possible Routes Through Central and South America
Over the past six months I've had the honor of making as many contacts as possible (along with some other Iris missionaries
upon
beginning September 11th of this year. It is quite a challenge to try
and make tentative routes for two to three teams of between 30 and 60
missionaries. We actually have contacts in every country in Central and
South America and are still working on the Caribbean as that will be the
last leg of our team's journey. It is really exciting making these
contacts and dreaming about our teams carrying the love, glory and power
of God through all of Latin America and the Caribbean. We will be
focusing on bringing the gospel to the remaining unreached people
groups, as well as ministering to the poor and broken of bigger cities.
We will also be partnering with other chuches, ministries and
organizations along the way when possible, helping them establish more
permanent works among the unreached people groups. Please see below
where I have marked possible routes for two teams to split up in order
to cover the most ground. Team #1's route is marked with black lines
while Team #2's route is marked with grey lines. The black squares are
cities or areas where we have made contact with churches, ministries or
organizations and will most likely be staying with them from three days
to one week, depending on how the Lord leads each team. The orange and
yellow arrows contain the names of the ministries in that city. There is
a possibility that we will actually add a third route for a third team,
depending on the number of missionaries we will have. Also notice that
both teams will meet up at different points along the way, and these routes actually look a
little bit like a DNA strand, as this is what was prophesied over this
journey at the Iris Harvest School of Missions in Pemba, Mozambique.

Possible Central America Routes
Both
teams will be tentatively entering Mexico through the border at
Nogales. Team #1 will mostly stay in western and central Mexico, then
will head into Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica
and Panama. Team #2 will start in western Mexico but then drive inland
and stay mostly in central and eastern Mexico, into Belize, Guatemala,
El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Both teams will
meet up in Colon, Panama where they will ship all of the vehicles
.
Possible South America Routes
Tentatively, both teams will start off together in Colombia,and weave throughout Ecuador and Peru, meeting
up at various points. At times the team will leave their vehicles and
by boat and plane, enter the interior of the Amazon to get to unreached
tribes. Then Team #1 will head to Bolivia, Paraguay, meet up with Team
#2 in Argentina, head back north into Bolivia again and then into Brazil
where they will meet up again with Team #2 in Santarem. Team #2 will travel through Chile and Argentina, even to the southern tip of South America
near Antarctica, then back through Uruguay and Brazil. Once both teams
are in Santarem, they will either with or without their vehicles, take a
ferry to Manaus, then travel north. Team #1 will head into Guyana,
Suriname and French Guiana, then fly into Caracas, Venezuela to meet up
with Team #2. From Caracas both teams will fly to the Caribbean islands
to end the year long journey.

Again
this is only a tentative plan. Proverbs 16:9 says, "A man's heart plans
his way, but the Lord directs his steps." We hold our plans so loosely
as we know that Holy Spirit can, and most likely will lead us on
adventures we can't even imagine. I have also been excited to get one of
our vehicles road and travel-worthy. Jesse and Tanya bought this RV
that is a 1982 Chevrolet. Last Saturday my good friend, Jerry Morris
(who is an awesome, Spirit-filled mechanic) and I replaced the Master
Cylinder. This Saturday we will change another seal, tune it up and make
a list of other things that would be beneficial to take this RV
throughout all of Central and South America.
