The Angels Rejoice

I saw him out of the corner of my eye. He was on crutches walking past the church. The service was about to end, but I began playing a song and singing, inviting people to come to the altar and pray. Hearing the music, he immediately stopped. I continued singing as the Presence of the

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024

Wow! 2023 was an incredible year!!! I can’t even begin to tell all the great things the Lord has done! Miracles, signs, wonders; We experienced it ALL! And I already know that there will be ‘More in 2024.’ If I am willing. You see, God has been so good to me, yet He owes me

God’s Promises

This Beautiful rainbow graced the sky after service recently at Puyupungo Church. It was breathtaking. So bold and beautiful, and almost hovering near the church.

Pastor Appreciation

Every time I am together with the Ecuadorians praising Jesus, it’s wonderful!! But yesterday, my precious congregation at Puyo church made it even more special; they honored me for Pastor Appreciation Day. As I heard their words of love and gratitude, I was moved to tears. I wept praising the Lord for His perfect plan,

I Have Visitors

My visitors from Kentucky USA (Pastor Larry Shemwell’s Church) have been such a great blessing here in Ecuador. They have learned songs in Spanish and Kichwa and sang them in the services, they have played drums, they have testified and preached (in English and I translated), they have bought rice and other foods and hygiene
