Would you like me to come for a visit?
As you are probably aware if you follow us along closely, Kim and I officially finished our Ministry Assignment (formerly known as Home Assignment) last June. I (Joel) am the one who continues on with my connection with Ecuador as Serve Global Personnel with the Evangelical Covenant Church and my volunteer role as the Executive Director of the Santiago Partnership. Kim actually continues with her Ecuador ministry as well, but just as a volunteer as she needed to pursue employment with Lawndale Christian Health Center to provide income for the family as our expenses had risen dramatically with our move to the United States. So we both continue to be very connected with our Ecuador ministries and do everything we can to ensure their continued support and success.
I have now been approved by my supervising staff in Serve Globally to continue to visit my supporting churches, as I have many and ensuring that their connection with the Delp Family and our Ecuador ministries is vitally important to me. So with that explanation, I wanted let you all know that I am now available to setup visits to our supporting churches at a rate of approximately one per month. I think that is a good healthy pace to balance my life, ministry and my continued support of the Ecuador ministries from Romeoville all the while still do what I can to connect my churches with what is happening in Ecuador.
Please reach out to me at joel-kim.delp(at)covchurch.org if you would like to setup a visit. I had the opportunity to visit North Park Covenant Church in Machesney Park, IL in February and then our former home church, Northwest Covenant Church in Mt. Prospect, IL in March. I currently have openings starting in April throughout the rest of 2026 and going into 2027.
