Mission to Ecuador - Day 1

 ...but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 
1 John 1:7

Dear family of God,

We are flying at 38,000 feet, high above the clouds, on our way to Quito. There is a panorama of white and blue below us, with an endless display of illuminating rays of sunlight. The sea far below is a brilliant blend of blue and green. The islands of the Caribbean shine with white coastlines and dark interiors. One is struck with how awesome is The Creator.

Our team travels to Ecuador to have fellowship with His church as well as with those we serve. Old friendships are renewed, and new brief relationships develop with patients as well as with the children in the Bible Schools where we work. All of these relationships are enabled by our Father, Who provides the light in which we walk, day by day. It is a rewarding and very exciting way to live, albeit with considerable effort and endurance at times.

We also celebrate being one with Him, enabled by the sacrifice and life of Jesus. We are meant to live and walk and work and love in Him. It is a life that at times allows us to fly above the clouds, seeing things from His perspective.

In His grace, peace and mercy,
Tim
