Sacariaz Receives His New Wheels

What a story we have about this wheelchair donated by P.E.T. (Personal Energy Transportation) Ministry!  The South Tampa Medical Team brought the chair with them for which we had planned to have them put it together and present it to Sacariaz the following Friday of their arrival.  Sacariaz is an 18 year old university student who lost his left leg to polio. This PET chair offers him the mobility to not only get around town but to attend his classes without having to walk with his crutch or take motortaxis.
The main part of the chair arrived with the team but the suitcase that had the other tires and tools remained in Atlanta only to be flown all the way to London then back to Atlanta then finally to Lima but not in time for the team presentation.  Thankfully, Angel was able to go with Jeff, the team leader, to customs the night the team was returning to the states and with much pleading was allowed to bring the suitcase back to Moyobamba with him.  Saturday, July 3rd, we presented Sacariaz with his new set of wheels and a bible.  He was so excited and truly blessed by this chair.  We were abundantly blessed to be able to present him with it and thank PET ministry and STF for bringing it to Peru.
We ask that you pray for us to come up with a solution in being able to provide customs with the new paperwork available with the signatures they are requesting from now on.  It will require someone going to Lima before each team to claim what is coming into the country. Not an easy task, costly for us missionaries and will not only affect us but the rest of MVI missionaries in Peru.  We believe God for favor and quick answers to this potential problem.

We also ask your prayers in something our Lord laid on Karen's heart for their return...to start a bible study with the recipients of these chairs. Looking forward to what our Lord has in store for His special ones.
