A Vision team from Dassel, MN

Posted on March 25, 2015 by Joel & Kim

Joel was able to help with a Vision Team from the Covenant Church in Dassel, Minnesota this past week. The purpose of a Vision Team is to help them see, meet and get to know various Covenant churches and ministries in Ecuador so they can know how to partner with these churches/ministries in the future. The team had 7 members from the church, including the pastor. We visited 4 different Quechua communities in the northern part of the country, as well as our project in Cayambe, the national church offices in Quito as well as our home church in Quito. On Sunday, Joel translated for the pastor from Dassel during the service. Here are some pictures from their time:

Blood Samples

Posted on March 17, 2015 by Joel & Kim

This past weekend we were up in Cayambe and one of the Quechua villages in the mountains called Lote Cuatro. We were there to draw blood. Even though the clinic is not yet operational, we are able to participate in our first medical caravan. In a couple of weeks, we’ll be heading up to Lote Cuatro again to hold a two-day medical caravan for the children that are a part of the Compassion program in Lote Cuatro. The blood samples were taken so that way laboratory tests can be performed on them to see if there are any conditions the children are under and are in need of further evaluation. Here are some pictures from this weekend.

Off to the Jungle!

Posted on March 15, 2015 by Joel & Kim

We had the opportunity to partner with a dental/medical team in the area of Tena this past Saturday. The connection we have with them is actually with one of our supporting churches, Hope Covenant Church, of Indianapolis, IN. A couple who are members of Hope Covenant, Tim and Ann Carlson, take a team of dental students each year to practice and help out in the more impoverished parts of Ecuador! They invited us to come out and see what they do as well as allow Kim to help out as they also had a medical clinic setup. After they showed us what they do, we will soon be showing them what we do as the team is on their way to Cayambe to visit our ministry.

Project Complete in Lote Tres!!!

Posted on March 10, 2015 by Joel & Kim

This past Sunday, I (Joel) took a group of representatives up to Lote Tres, a small Quechua community up in the mountains around Cayambe, in our van. The group included David Husby, the Director of Covenant World Relief, Pia and Eugenio Restrepo, the Latin American Regional Coordinators for the ECC, Henry Burbano, the president of IPEE, and a couple of the members of the FACE Board of Directors (Many Hjelm and Moises Clark). We were traveling to Lote Tres to celebrate the completion of the CWR/FACE project there. Here are some pictures and videos of the day’s celebrations.

A new partnership is formed!

Posted on February 28, 2015 by Joel & Kim

This past Thursday a new partnership was formed! What you see pictured here is the President of the Covenant Church of Ecuador, Henry Burbano, signing a “convenio” or a formal agreement to partner with the Covenant Church of Canada for the next three years. We will be working together to further the ministries of our project in Ecuador, hand-in-hand with the Covenant Churches in both Canada and Ecuador. To God be the Glory!!!
