High in the Peruvian Andes, glaciers bleed white water. Trickle becomes stream, stream becomes river and the ‘GREAT SPEAKERS”, RIO APURIMAC, the Amazon source tributary is born. It was to this forbidden terrain that the expedition arrived in a specially designed hovercraft. Through the territories of primitive tribespeople, guerillas and cocaine drug runners, they successfully extended the navigable length of the Amazon. Medical services were provided where none had existed before. Water supplies were purified and freed from parasites and countless Indians were treated. This amazing work of these Christian missionaries was wonderful to read, and lives have been changed forever. The BBC described this expedition as “a story of breathtaking Christian adventure.”
