Chuck in the Jungle

Hey fam!

Many of you have been asking about our schedule and locations for the Amazon trip, so I wanted to share our itinerary and prayer calendar. We’ll be traveling from Arkansas to Brazil, ministering in villages near Parintins, and providing medical care, eye exams, and ministry for men, women, and children. Each day, I’ll post an update in the High, Low, Buffalo format—sharing the best moment (High), the biggest challenge (Low), and something unexpected (Buffalo)—along with photos from the day. Your prayers and encouragement mean the world to our team as we step into this journey!
