March - April 2014 Newsletter
Greetings from Ecuador
We are so excited to share with you
a little glimpse of what God is
doing. We have finally settled into
our new location of
Cuenca, Ecuador,
right in the middle
of the Andes
Mountains, so
much for bringing summer clothes
for the Jungle; were freezing here,
but we know God moved us here for
a reason and for this time.

Facing challenges
Since arriving, we have faced many
incredible challenges and great
spiritual warfare,
including God
redirecting our
ministry plans
and ministry
location. Even though our first
months were very difficult, we have
been so encouraged in how God
has continued to show us His perfect
plan and has opened new doors of
ministry as we have followed Him in
total obedience

What have been doing?
We have been working in many
areas of the jungle, the Andes
Mountains and the
Coast. We have
held children and
adult evangelism
programs, kids
clubs, English conversation clubs,
medical clinics, and have
participated in the construction of
house churches
and training of
house church
pastors.
