Tim Lester gallantly undertook to do a marriage conference in Cascavel, Brazil, that had been scheduled before Mike passed on. Looks like a very nice time was had by all. Thanks, Tim, Flavio, and Sonia! Sonia, you should be our new photographer! Yours in Christ, Betty Wells

Dear Friends,

Attached, some pictures we took during the seminar in Cascavel and at
the Back’s home. It was a great time!

Thank you, Tim, for the great Seminar – we received many revelations
through your talk. Alberto and Alice, we are grateful for the wonderful
hospitality, delicious food, and your love and care. Flavio, thank you
for the dedication as Tim’s interpreter. Betty, thank you for all your

Amazon Medical Mission Trip, March, 2012

Betty — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 01:55:48 +0000

These are but a few of the photos of the March, 2012, medical ministry trip on the boat with Pastor Kim in the Amazon region. Though Mike could not accompany the group, they all continued to plan and follow through with the vision of the journey. Flavio & Sonia Lazzari of Curitiba, Brazil, headed up the group to act as travel agents, interpreters, and much, much more. Their friend, Dr. Antonio Carlos Gioppo, came from southern Brazil, and the doctors mentioned by Sonia below came from the U.S. Also, Mike’s good friends Manie & Annelie Taute from Portugal came as Bible teachers and interpreters. A rich time in the Lord was had by all, it sounds like, and we praise Him for His faithfulness! –Betty

Betty, these pictures were taken in two indian communities we visited. The first community, Açaituba, was very poor. The Acariquaras had a more prepared community leader.

I was interpreting and helping Dr. Peter Emmanuel with the ultra-sound exams. Annelie Taute was dispensing all her care and love for the children and interpreting for Dr. Jim Herrin, and Flavio helped the Dr. Eric Wisdom & his assistant and wife, Elaine. Elaine W. just loved to play with the kids and gave them small toys and gifts.

We enjoyed talking and giving a little love to those people.

Getty ready to depart and move on to Honduras!

Mike Wells — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:25:28 +0000

Yesterday Raimundo and I went to an indigenous church of 1,200. It was wonderful with the people and pastor being receptive to our message of Jesus and asking us to return. Benjamin continues to serve us and the ALMI support team gave funds to support Bibles and coloring books for a secular grade school. There are no photos of the indigenous church (I will try to find some). There is a picture of the ancient aqueduct and Raimundo and I at an early morning radio interview.

More from Guatemala

Mike Wells — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 20:20:37 +0000

Here are a few passing photos from Guatemala. It has been wonderful here. We have had the help of Benjamin, with the International Bible Society, plus Woody, Dennis, and his wife Cindy, all from Vine Int’l. Not to mention Ignacio that got us into the prisons. Included are pictures of Woody, Dennis, the kids in the prison and teaching staff and congregations. Last night, we were able to preach to 1,200 Indians. What a blessing. Those of you that are on our support team were able to send funds for Bibles to a grade school.

Antigua, the oldest Capital in the Americas

Mike Wells — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 21:38:31 +0000

Woody treated us to a day in Antigua, the oldest capital in Central America. Because of an earthquake and the flooding of the capital in the 1700s, the Capital was then moved to Guatemala City. It is interesting place; the streets are basically walls with doors. Yet behind each door is a rich courtyard and many surprises. The very large Catholic monastery has been partially rebuilt into a classical-looking hotel. We walked the city, visited their most famous chocolate house, and Betty and Hilda got a ride on a horse-drawn cart, since it was raining. Overall it was a great day out. Traffic is what is to be expected in the whole world these days.

Guatemala

Mike Wells — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 21:26:10 +0000

All of Central and South America have been open to the message of “Christ in you the hope of glory.” We have been really blessed by some very key people that are supporting our efforts. Our longtime friend, Woody Woodson, with Vine International, has been working here for 25 years providing medical supplies to over 130 different outposts. Ignacio is colorful, to say the least. He is dynamite. He grew up in the U.S. and spent from age 11 in prisons for 14 years and then was deported. He started a prison ministry here, and it is really something. We were able to speak to children as young as 11 that have committed murder for payment as little as $15. The Warden loves the work that Ignacio and the Bible society have done. In fact, the government questioned his reports, because for 18 months there have been no drugs, weapons, or cell phones (used for extortion) found in the prison. The Warden simply replied, “We have given them Bibles.” Benjamin from the International Bible societies has taken us from place to place to share the message of Christ, to radio interviews and more. He is 72 and going strong. We will be back in July for two pastors’ seminars with around 500 in each. I have enclosed pictures of Guatemala city at night, Woody, Dennis, and Cindy of Vine International, Ignacio, the praise team, and Raimundo sharing.

A Little More from Mexico

Mike Wells — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 21:10:38 +0000

Mexico is much more dangerous than I ever thought. The hotel staff will not let us take a taxi as nearly everyone we meet has a horror story. One pastor tells of once being lost and asking the police for directions. They told him to stay there for a minute and went out to find a gang that nearly choked him to death. He woke up 30 minutes later and had been stripped of everything of value. If a taxi does take you, you must ask to be dropped off at a different corner and then walk to your home so the driver does not know where you live. Behind the Holiday Inn is a warehouse that receives stolen cars and strips them down for the parts to be sold. It is harsh for everyone here and the believers suffer alike. Here are photos of the Seminary, Church services, Mike and Raimundo, and a picture of Mexico City from the air.
