2017 Mission to Ecuador - Day One

"So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread."  
John 21:9

The mission team this year consists of 16 Kentuckian, plus a larger number of Ecuadorians. Our team this year will deliver health care services, VBS events, and instruction in preventing and fighting fires.

We will be serving two people groups - Quechua people in the mountains, and Awa people in the mid-range of the northwestern forests. Presently, our team is divided into three groups - two people already on-site, twelve in the air on their way, and two doctors waiting to depart from Miami.

We believe God is sending us with the purpose of loving those in need in Ecuador, coming alongside missionaries whose lives are dedicated to bringing the good news of the gospel. We will be sharing our lives with good friends already known, as well as with people we have yet to meet. In the midst of it all, we intend to spend time with Jesus our Lord, and are expecting to enjoy all that He has prepared in advance for us to do and to give and to learn.

Kim and I invite each of you to share in this journey. Please remember our team as well as the people we are serving in prayer!
