New Harvest Team Arrives
We were happy to welcome a work team from New Harvest Christian Church of Oregon, OH after they had a day and half flight delay problem making their way to Ecuador. Though they were weary from travel, they quickly got to work on the home for at risk children in Cayambe!

Back in Ecuador!
We made it back to our home in Quito, Ecuador this past Monday. Our flight back was a little bit delayed as we were trying to determine if Grandma was in a stable spot and we were helping out with her. But after a little bit over a month of spending time with grandma, who has terminal cancer, and grandpa, we are finally back in Ecuador and getting our lives setup here again. It was an important month for us as we know that grandma won’t be with us forever and we wanted to spend good time with her and the rest of the family over the holidays. Here are some pictures that show a little bit of our time there.

Construction continues… just not on the home
Construction continues in Cayambe, just not on the Home for At Risk Children. Though it is not yet open, we are already expanding the services of the Medical Clinic. We will providing the the services of a laboratory so that we can give a higher level of care for the people of the greater Cayambe area. Check out the pictures to see how the construction (and destruction) is progressing.
Our field of onions is really growing

A visit to our home church, Northwest Covenant
This past Sunday we had the opportunity to visit our home church, Northwest Covenant Church in Mt. Prospect, IL. Northwest Covenant is where we attended ever since we got married and moved to Chicago in 2002 up until we moved to Ecuador in 2010. NWCC is also where Joel was a pastor for a short while as well as the church that we took the mission trip with to Ecuador in which we received our call to Ecuador.
It was wonderful to be back with them for both worship services on Sunday morning, worshiping in our familiar home and seeing and reconnecting with so many friends. It was a busy morning for us as we were having Esther dedicated in our church home in the States as well as we lighted the advent candle and also gave a short update on what all is happening with us.
To top things off, they also held a special dinner for us that evening. There were 60 some people who came out and not just those from Northwest but also some from our supporting churches at DeerGrove Covenant (Palatine, IL) and Church of the Good Shepherd in Joliet, IL. It was a great day!!!

Container approved!!!!
We just heard from Rolando, our project coordinator with FACE, that he just got done with a meeting with the Quito Custom’s officials and the container has been approved to be sent down! PRAISE THE LORD!!! It sure has taken a long time but we are just happy to know that we can finally send all of those medical donations down that have been sitting and waiting to be sent. Now, we just need to setup a day to pack and load the container with the good folks from Coshocton, OH. God is good!!!!
