21st January 2003

This week DIGESA has told us that they will now not be undertaking the water projects in Nuevo Milagro and Guillermo, due to changes in government and instructions from heads in Lima.

I've yet to confirm from the head in Tarapoto whether or not they will be able to help the villages in any way. Please pray for the villagers, as they had great expectations of the project, and the funding that DIGESA were going to provide now seems to have been lost. Please pray for direction as we seek the way ahead with the villagers, and look for other sources of funding.

Please pray for my health, as I've recently had an infection caused by stomach parasites (amoebas).

Thanks to the Lord for the break that I spent with friends at the Laguna Azul at the weekend.

Thank you for your prayers!!
