Adventures and Encounters

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

Loving on the children at Puyupungo!

I love big hugs! And to know that we taught these children the love of Jesus, how to be affectionate and kind and show love to each other, just makes my heart swell. So each time they hug us or say “Te quiero, Hermana” it truly means something so special to me!!!! I sure do

We have LAND in Puyo!!

We are sooo excited that the Lord has provided us with a lot in Puyo!!!!! For almost 6 years now, we have rented a place for the Puyo church. Land in this town is very expensive, so we never had the funds to buy (small lots are anywhere from $60,000-$150,000!!! ) But we kept looking,

Some say that we’re Crazy! LOL!!!!

“Some say that we’re crazy to go away from home to a far and distant land where there’s souls to be won….” (The Mission Song, c. 2010 The Templet Family) It’s true! There are some who thought we were crazy for leaving it all behind, others who said “why don’t you just preach in America?”,

Go Ye into ALL the World

Missionary Charles, his wife Missionary Jenny, and Missionary Susan, obeying the call to “Go Ye…..” and preach this gospel to those who have never heard, that souls might be won into the kingdom!

Seeing my brother, Charles, and his wife, Jenny, praying in the altar last night at Puyo church was such a beautiful sight to behold. Charles is so tender, and seeing him weep and hearing his burden for the lost souls of Ecuador moved me to tears! He and Jenny prayed and cried out to the

Jesus, My Healer!

A short time ago while in the USA, I came down with a terrible cough that would not stop, and that lasted nearly a month. After I finally got over the cough, I began to notice that I would get hoarse or even lose my voice completely while worshiping or preaching. And it was much
