Evangelism and Outreach with Faith Baptist Church

After our weekend at El Refugio camp, several days were spent evangelizing in the communities of those with whom we spent the weekend - Santos Pamba, Mayorista Market, and Carcelen. On Tuesday, during the busiest market day at Mayorista Market, the group canvased the market area sharing the Gospel with those who could and would listen. Many were open to hearing the Good News, yet others are still closed to hearing God's truth. Their hearts are hardened. Please continue to pray that their hearts would be softened to God's true Word and that we would one day have the opportunity to share with them the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. On Wednesday, we walked through the town of Carcelen Bajo telling people that we would be showing a free film that evening called "The Hope," and we were inviting them to come. About 60 people saw the movie that evening at the church. Please pray for those who heard the Gospel through this film, especially for those who heard for the first time. Pray that their hearts will be pierced, and that they will want to hear more.

High Hopes on the High Ropes, and Other Team Building Excitement

Part of our discipleship and team building weekend was team building exercises, including high ropes, zip lines and other activities. These activities taught us to trust each other and to work as teams to accomplish our task.

Everyone was tested
beyond our normal limits. We
overcame fears, worked as a team,
and had fun in the process. We
learned a lot about ourselves and each other, but above all, we trusted God to see us through each task.

Discipleship & Team Building With Faith Baptist Church and Ecuadorian Nationals

Our team, along with a volunteer team from Faith Baptist Church, Wichita Falls, Texas, began our week-long discipleship and evangelism outreach emphasis at Camp El Refugio with several of our key Ecuadorian nationals. The team emphasized prayer and team building between several different Quichua and Quichua Mestizado churches in and around the Quito area. Everyone had a wonderful time. Friendships were made, relationships were strengthened, and lives were changed.
