Deep in the Brazilian Amazon, where the mighty Solimões River glitters under the blazing sun, just a few kilometers from the town of Tabatinga, right at the point where Colombia, Peru, and Brazil meet at the famous “Three Borders” region, lies the 140-acre (approximately 566,000 m²) property of the Três Fronteiras Evangelical Mission (Missão Evangélica Três Fronteiras – MET). 

 Right now, in the middle of that vast land, on a red-earth hill where the breath of the jungle is still alive, sweat and prayer are mingling together. 

Brothers and sisters are swinging shovels and pickaxes, digging exactly 100 pits—each one 1 meter wide, 1 meter long, and 30 cm deep. With every scoop of soil, the fierce Amazon sun beats down on their backs and sweat pours like rain. Into each pit they generously heap chicken manure, cow manure, well-rotted compost, and biochar made from burnt rice husks, then top it with coco peat and rich humus—mixing everything with hands stained black by the earth, pouring their hearts into giving life to every single plant. 

 Into those pits, 400 young dragon fruit (pitaya) seedlings have now been planted. For now, they are tender green stems with prickly, cactus-like leaves that sway gently in the breeze—barely 30–40 cm tall. But by this time next year, they will have shot up to 1.8 m, even 2 m high, and will cascade down from the 2.3-meter concrete posts we have already erected for them. 

Just imagine it: 100 gray concrete pillars standing in perfect rows across the red soil. Dragon fruit vines climbing and draping over every pillar. Then, on moonlit nights, huge white dragon-like flowers will be blooming gloriously in the silvery light. And where those flowers fade, bright red dragon “eggs” (red dragon fruit) and golden ones (yellow pitaya) will hang in heavy clusters! 

 By the end of 2026, the very first harvest will be carried to the markets of Tabatinga and Leticia Colombia —sold proudly as “Mission Dragon Fruit from the Amazon Three Borders.” The income from those fruits will flow back into building schools for indigenous children, rehabilitation centers for young people escaping drugs, and gospel outreach to remote villages farther up the river that have never yet heard the name of Jesus. 

At this very moment, over the soil-stained hands of the brothers and sisters working the land, over these 400 tender dragon fruit seedlings, and over the vines that will one day climb to the top of those 2.3-meter concrete posts… may God pour out His amazing blessing and abundant fruitfulness! 

We earnestly ask for the fervent intercession of saints in USA and around the world! 

 “Land, drink in the rain that falls on you, receive God’s blessing, and bear fruit in its season!” (Hebrews 6:7, paraphrased)
