Mission to Ecuador 2014: Day One

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
James 1:17

To the saints at Tatesbrook and to all who may read this letter:

Mercy and peace to each of you, from the Son and the Father. 

Dr. Kim and I greet you from the sunny land of Miami. Our team of ten assembled last evening in northern Kentucky, and departed early this morning. Everything went remarkably smoothly, in accordance with your prayers.  Our two hour flight was both comfortable and beautiful.  Praise be to God!

Our team consists of two nurses (Leah and Lynn), two physicians (Kim and Tim), a dentist and assistant (Randy and Connie), a pharmacist (Jessica), an optician (Thomas), a student (Tatum), and one organizing director supreme (Shelia).  It appears to be a well balanced and effective mission organism.  The Body of Christ has enormous, yet unrealized, potential. Christ in us enables us to be used for God's purpose over the next seven days in the rugged mountains and green forests of Ecuador.

The people we will be serving eagerly await our arrival.  We join them, with the anticipation of discovering what God has in store for us to live out, together.  All praise, glory and honor be unto Him!

Following His leading,
Dr. Tim
