Serving Ecuador 2013

The eagle has landed!  The Ecuador team is safe and sound at Casa Blanca, Quito, Ecuador - guests of IncaLink International.  We are already in full missions mode with unexpected turns, while God is showing Himself to be faithful at every one.  More news to come tomorrow, but here is a quick list of prayer requests and praises:

1.  Pray for Bettie Hahn's suitcase full of puppets.  It did not meet us at the Quito airport.  We have 24 hours to recover them in time to leave for the jungle Sunday morning.  The puppet ministry is a valued part of our VBS program in the jungle.  Please pray for the safe recovery of the puppets and the for the hearts of the puppetnappers...

2.  A bridge on the main route to our destination in the Amazon basin was washed out in a landslide 5 days ago.  Getting to Huaticocha on Sunday will be more of a challenge, but will certainly bring unexpected opportunities!

3.  One of our students was handed $100 for our Ecuador ministry by a random passenger on the flight to Miami.  God's generosity abounds amidst the adversity!  (This money may come in handy to ransom the puppets...)

Peace!

The Ecuador Team

  1. We have just finished praying for everyone on the team. The kids, the leaders, the parents, most of all the people will come to know the Lord through what you were doing.

    We also prayed for the puppets, and feel that God is going to do something beautiful. Expect miracles!

    We are with you,
    love Bill and Kristin Eberwein

  3. OK. Looks like I'm up an running. Just want to say hi to my daughter, Miss Menser. Praying that your time has been greatly blessed and that you and the students are receiving all that God intended for this amazing adventure. Eager to hear first hand all that has transpired.
