Amazon peoples remain unreached

RICHMOND, Va. (BP)--Weary travelers stand alongside a river somewhere in South
America's Amazon Basin.

After three hours of trying to maneuver upstream by motorboat to a remote
village, a group of International Mission Board missionaries grudgingly accepts
the realization that the day's journey has ended. Shallow waters, exposed rocks,
tree limbs and a rough current that nearly capsized the boat won't allow the
group to go any farther.

Score a victory for the Amazon.

Thousands of miles of dense jungle create a daunting "wall" for those wanting to
take the Gospel to this area. For some of the people groups in remote areas,
their only hope to hear about Jesus is through faithful Christians praying that
the Gospel message will reach them.
