Fr Raymond Portelli, Iquitos, Peru
Maltese missionary in Amazon forest
I would like to thank all those who are helping our missionary work in some way or other. Being a missionary means being sent to another Church to do God's will of evangelisation.
It is not a personal initiative but a sharing in the essential nature of the Church. In some way or other we are all called to do missionary work. May we do it with joy and united as a Church.
Let us work always together in communion with our pastors for the greater glory of God and the well being of our fellow brothers and sisters.
A personal thanks to all the benefactors of our mission work in the Amazon jungle of Peru and to the Missionary Office of Malta and Gozo, Mission Fund, Support lill-Missjunaru, Friends of Peru and Moviment Ġesù fil-Proxxmu.
With your help we can continue serving the poorest of the poor. I promise you my prayers.

Fr Raymond, you are really doing a great job in Peru.. Keep it up. Those people need you. As always, Maltese and Gozitans are always in the forefront of missionary work and we catholics should never underestimate this. We only hear of the negative things regarding the catholic church, but we rarely see the good of the missions and their schools all over the world No one is perfect, but when something wrong is done, the good is not looked at and only the bad. And the damage to the church grows in those instances.
