Like us on Facebook and share our newsletter with others. July - August 2014 Newsletter Greetings from Ecuador We want to keep our newsletters to 1 page, so please check Facebook frequently for full details and photos.
First, we want to say thank you for investing and partnering with us nancially and through prayer. Together we are touching the lives of many children, adults and local pastors.
What have been doing? We are working in three different orphanages and many remote Indigenous communities where there are no evangelical churches and very few Christians.
We have been busy with short term mission teams from our home church and also with our mission partners and local pastors.
We were also privileged to have had two families come live and work with us; the Beck family of four, missionaries from Shell, Ecuador for a week and the Pelletier family of ve from South Florida for 3 weeks. Both families were a wonderful addition to our ministry if even for a short time as it allowed us to minister more affectively. The Becks are now in Cuenca working with Reaching and Teaching Ministries and hope to help us when they are available.
Please pray for the Pelletier family as they seek the Lord for His plans for them in Ecuador.
Please also pray that God will send people to work directly with us too as we need a team.
Interested in Short-term Missions? We are booking teams for the end of 2014 and for 2015. Please consider joining us for a short term or long term missions trip with your church or as a small group or as an individual! !"# %& '(%)*'+, New doors of ministry; We were invited into Mushuk Kawsay TriligePublic High School in Tambo to openly share the gospel. The school director and president are christians. They are looking for full-time volunteers to teach Bible and English. Please pray that we can nd volunteers for both.
Remember this photo we shared on Facebook? It shows two communities, El Rodeo and El amarin located in the Andes mountains, in which Pastor Gonzalo wished to bring the gospel.
Here are a few photos of the Childrens Evangelical program we presented in both locations.
It was a great success: the gospel was given, we had huge turn outs with lots children and adults and we received invitations to return.
Most of the children had never seen this type of VBS program. We shared the gospel using puppets, music, coloring sheets, crafts, gospel magic, an interactive story and an animated video of Jonah and the Whale, taught a memory verse, played games and fed the children lunch.
We also had an opportunity to do the same program for an orphanage for the mentally handicapped in Yunguilla and a Shuar squatter village in Shell.
