On Mission in Ecuador

   May 29-June 5 are the dates that I served with WHEW Missions in Quito, Ecuador. Quito, located in two valleys and surrounded by mountains, is a city of approximately three million people. It is a beautiful place where wealth and poverty meet.  The people we interacted with were friendly and amazing in their determination, resilience and discipline. It was a privilege to meet them and get to know them a bit.
  Our mission team was made up of seventy-three people plus translators. We worked with five churches, five schools, an orphanage, a children's hospital, a women's prison and did street evangelism. Many lives were touched including ours. Many people came to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord.
  I am deeply grateful to those who made it possible for me to go, to those who provided supplies and materials to be used, and for those who prayed for the team and me as we ministered there. Only God knows the rewards you will receive and the fruit that was born as a result of your efforts on behalf of the mission trip. Thank you and God bless you.
