Ecuador

The Republic of Ecuador is a beautiful mountainous country with many natural resources including gold, silver, and oil and grows a vast variety of foods. It straddles the equator from where it gets its name, and is bordered on the North by Colombia, Peru on the East and South and the Pacific Ocean on the West. The Country also includes the Galapagos Islands, which are geologically young and famed for their vast number of endemic species, which were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle. His observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

Its capital city is Quito, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the 1970s for having the best preserved and least altered historic center in Latin America. The country's largest city is Guayaquil. The historic center of Cuenca, the third largest city in the country, was also declared a World Heritage Site in 1999, for being an outstanding example of a planned inland Spanish style colonial city in the Americas. The city of Cuenca is where we did most of our ministry. It reminded me a lot of the old Havana City in Cuba because of its old colonial style buildings and the general architecture of the city, although it is much higher in elevation (8,000 ft).

From the first time we have gone to Ecuador, we spent a lot of time praying, exploring and seeking guidance from the Lord. We continued to go there as there is a great need for the gospel of the kingdom to be preached with signs, wonders and miracles. The people are very hungry and in need of much teaching. The children of God in Ecuador are like everywhere else in the world; kind, beautiful. very gracious and hospitable. It takes a while for them to befriend you; but once they do they could become good friends. As most human beings, these people respond to genuine love and kindness. We want to thank those of you who helped us go there. Without your finanancial help, we would not have been able to do it. Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness. Our Heavenly Father will reward you on that day, and we will reap together heavenly rewards for the harvest of souls that will come into the Kingdom of Heaven.

2 Thessalonians 3:7-9 "For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing; but worked with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you: Not because we have not that right, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.."
