Ken and Cathy Hedvall Connecting You To Tribal Missions Ken’s last trip to visit the Ese Eja was a sweet blessing. Seeing what God is doing among the church and its leaders there and visiting with the missionaries was a source of great encouragement. 
He always enjoys seeing their lives as they live it on the river. 
It’s always important to try to avoid dengue fever by using long sleeves.
The airstrip they land on is all grass 
but we have the best pilots in the world so never a worry. He even got a siesta or two in while he was there
.
Specific Prayer requests:
1. Pray for church leaders in the different Ese Ejja villages: Sixto and Jairo, Zenon, Samuel, Pedro and Milton. 
2. Pray for the all the details and coordination for the recording of the Ese Ejja New Testament. The recording of the N.T. began in March. 
3. Pray for the youth who have responded to the gospel; that they will grow in the Lord and not follow the ways of the world. 
4. Pray for the new believers to be grounded in God’s grace and for a real change in their world view. Shema, Nicodemo, Jai siye, Cano, Coya, Cuiajja, and Oya-naba…to name a few. 
5. Pray for the literacy needs and for wisdom as the missionaries work with the children who are behind. We pray that next year the bi-lingual teachers will use the literacy books in Ese Ejja.
6. Praise the Lord for all those who have returned to Him and are back in fellowship this year; and pray that they will not get discouraged with all the gossip.
