Ecuador Day 5 (3/18) 🇪🇨

A Day of Beauty, Prayer, and Ministry

It was another meaningful day for the Ecuador team, filled with both moments of rest and opportunities to serve.

The morning began with an excursion to a beautiful beach about an hour away from the team house. The scenery was breathtaking, and the time of rest was a gift. Team members enjoyed the peaceful setting, taking in the beauty of God’s creation. One team member spent time sitting along the shore in prayer, thanking God for His handiwork and the chance to experience it in such a special place.

After a simple picnic lunch in the parking lot, the team returned to Montañita to prepare for a Children’s Bible Club in Manglaralto. The children there were attentive, engaged, and incredibly sweet. During a quieter moment in the program, one team member stepped aside to simply watch and pray over the children, asking that each one would one day come to know Jesus as their personal Savior. It was a powerful moment that even brought tears.

Later, the team also assisted with a Teen Club, similar to a midweek student ministry gathering. It was a reminder that some things are the same no matter where you are. Students everywhere are asking questions, building friendships, and navigating the challenges of life. It was encouraging to see their curiosity about God and their willingness to engage.

Please continue to pray not only for the children, but also for the teenagers. Students around the world face real pressures and important choices every day. Pray that they would come to know truth, find hope in Jesus, and be strengthened in their faith. ❤️
