After Carol's car accident in August, Ricky and Carol Hendon stepped back to focus on healing — but the Lord did not stop working.
Here's What Happened Instead
- Missionaries stepped in to lead children & young adult ministry in Yurimaguas
- Ricky's children led orality training for the Kandoshi & Ashuar tribes
- A U.S. team built a new church in a Kandoshi village
- Local leaders are continuing work on a new dorm at Camp Yuri, with a goal of completing it by 2027
This is the power of the Body of Christ joining together in community under a shared mission.
"We are blessed by your partnership and prayers. We also pray for you and your families, that God would continue to bless you as you invest in His kingdom."
— Ricky Hendon
