I am going to Ecuador! I have been feeling “the call” to go somewhere, sometime, for the past two years, and the opportunity has put itself before me to go do what I know God has equipped me to do – listen to and love on people who are hurting and share the Good News and Love of Jesus with them. The people of Bahia, Ecuador, are still suffering the traumatic effects of having their world fall down around them after an earthquake (7.8 magnitude) hit this region in April of 2016, and God is allowing me the chance to be His hands and feet to minister to them.

First, please be in prayer for me. This is the most important thing I can ask of you. Also pray for our team and for the hearts of the people to whom we will minister to be prepared to hear the Gospel.

Now the hard part for me. I do not like “asking” for money.  My nature would be to worry about how I will come up with this money on my own, especially since I am not the only one in my family committing to go, but I have been told that there are those who will want to be a part of this mission through their giving since they cannot or do not feel led to go themselves. Therefore, I will trust the Lord to provide, and I will not limit how He chooses to do so by NOT asking. So, if you feel led to be a part of this with me, my gratitude will be multi-faceted – first to the Lord who is providing through others and then to you for being obedient to Him. Please pray to know what God would have you do.
