This may seem like a very simple picture, but it represents a lot for the clinic in Cayambe. This is an official permit that is currently up in the clinic. Please continue to pray. We are only lacking 1 permit before the clinic can be officially opened! YEAH! Please join us in prayer that the Ministry of Health will grant us this final permit without any issues. It may be baby steps, but God is slowly but surely allowing these permits to come in. Thanks be to God!
Volunteer Tourist Week
We took two of our summer volunteers on a week adventure to see the beauty of Ecuador. Here are some pictures from our time:
Pictures of Disaster Relief in Oyacachi
Pictures of disaster relief and pastoral care in Oyacachi. It has been amazing to see how the see the response by our Christian brothers and sisters in the surrounding area Covenant churches. If you would like to support their efforts, gifts can be received through Covenant World Relief, just click the link below and put in the notes of the gift “Ecuador disaster relief” http://www.covchurchgiving.com/p-174-disaster-relief.aspx
Please pray for Oyacachi!
Please pray for our sister church/community in Oyacachi who on Friday experienced an incredible landslide and flooding. Currently, the entire community is evacuating and the surrounding area Covenant churches are providing shelter and food. You may remember that we recently completed a medical caravan in this community.
Visas Approved!
PRAISE THE LORD!!! Our resident visas have been approved! We now have residential status in Ecuador and we will not have to renew our Visas again unless we are out of the country for an extended period of time. And the little girl who looks the happiest in the picture was the key to this happening that since she was born with Ecuadorian citizenship, as she was born here in Ecuador, the rest of us were able to get the Resident Visas because of our family relationship with her. God is good!!!
