What an amazing ministry trip to begin our 2018 Fall Ministry in Latin America! Two weeks in the country where we spent 30 years. The focus of the trip was to speak at the annual pastors and wives retreat in Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas, Ecuador.
We were asked to speak specifically on Pastoral Ethics and Family Issues. We counted more than 60 adults present for the sessions. The fellowship was sweet. The training was intense. The response was encouraging.
A privilege we do not take for granted is the opportunity, which we sometimes get, to speak in churches before or after our seminars or conferences. Speaking at the church that Sharon and I established in Quito many years ago is always like going home. Along with some people who have been around for years, there are always new faces with fresh testimonies of the grace of God.
On the day we were there, the total attendance in the three services was 431. Five people trusted in Jesus that Sunday. Pastor Fernando and his sweet wife, Verónica, are being used of the Lord to impact the lives of many people in the capital city.
As we prepare for the next trips, our hearts are full!
