Day 11 - Letter from Tim

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It is a bright and sunny day in Otavalo today. It is the team´s last day here. Tonight, we travel to Quito, and tomorrow we travel home. It will be good to see family and friends once again.

The last two days have been blessed. We saw about 120 patients at Cotacachi yesterday. Several people brought their medications from last year, and were back for their annunal checkup. One lady wanted the same injection that she had received last year for her muscle aching. Another fellow that we saw at Rio Verde said that he had been headache free for one year following treatment given in 2004, and had returned for a similar treatment this year. All in all, the team is acutely aware of the sufficiency of God´s grace, who accomplishes so much with weak and earthen vessels.

Today has mostly been a day of relaxation and shopping. The team has been tired for a day or two, and needed this day before heading back. We feel satisfied by what God has done. Last night, the youth group from Galilea church here in Otavalo serenaded one of our team members on her birthday. She was most appreciative.

Kim and I have been lifted up by your faithful praying. Our Father has kept us safe, and has made effective our ministry to the people here in Ecuador. He is so very good, full of mercy, grace and truth. This is quite evident, both to those served as well as to every servant.

May you sense His hand and face in all that you do this day.

In the precious name of Jesus,
Tim and Kim from Imbaburra
