“Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is

Going home after Church!

Taking people to the bus stop so they can go home after church service in Puyo! 🙌🙌 I’m so humbled by the sacrifice that some make in coming to church so it’s a joy for me to help them out and bring them to the bus stop afterwards. If they don’t have bus fare, Jesus provides and

Blessings of Guavas

We have fruit trees planted at most of our churches for the children to enjoy or for families in need. Yesterday at Yantana, the guava tree was loaded! So, the children were happy to receive several after service! Daniel, Ella and Mileydy are in the photo with some of their guavas! Jesus makes our fruit

These are the moments that truly bless me so. Being one on one with someone, loving on them and reminding them that they are important and cared about and deeply loved; letting them know that they can make it, and that I’m there to do the journey with them! It’s an honor to be Missionary

But it didn’t matter the color of our skin. The love of Jesus went beyond that, because it has no boundaries and no preferences. It

My Brother

When the Lord called me to Ecuador many years ago, I was more than willing to go. I wasn’t sure exactly all the details of God’s plan, so I just started preparing myself to be the missionary He had called me to be. As those years of preparation went by, the Lord sent me on

Sacrifice? Say rather it is a privilege

David Livingstone said, “For my own part, I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office. People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. Is that a sacrifice which brings its own blest reward in healthful activity, the consciousness of
