Serving Christ in Ecuador |
Ephraim was dedicated to God at Iglesia Emanuel in Juan Montalvo this past Sunday. His God parents are Rolando and Diana Escola.
This past Saturday we held a big promotional day for the medical clinic to let them know we are open and serving the greater Cayambe area. We had a big setup in the park with free basic medical check-ups, balloons and face painting. Unfortunately, it rained a lot so this is the only picture we have. However, since many flyers were distributed and much information was shared, we feel that the word is out that our clinic is open and ready to serve the public with high quality medical care that is accessible to all.
A week ago, we completed another medical caravan to the children of the Compassion program in the Iglesia del Pacto Nazareno “Nazarene Covenant Church” in Cayambe and their extension location in Oyacachi. Almost 370 children received their annual medical exam and were treated with anti-parasitic medicine and given vitamins. Praise be to God! Enjoy the pictures below which include some shots of the beautiful artisan work of Oyacachi.

The Santiago Partnership continues its relief efforts in collaboration with our partner denomination, the Evangelical Covenant Church of Ecuador. As survivors from the recent earthquake are being sheltered in the Covenant campgrounds in Santo Domingo, we have been providing them with their medical care. A week ago, our medical staff attended to all of those who had a medical need seeing the vast majority. Yesterday, Kim continued their care by seeing 36 patients who needed further help or those who had arrived within this past week. See the pictures to get more of an idea of what life is like for these folks from Pedernales who within seconds lost their homes, possessions and in some cases, their loved ones.

This past week the Santiago Partnership sent our clinic medical staff out to the coast to help those who have been affected by the recent earthquake. In one day our staff, with a team of medical students we joined up with, saw over 300 people desperately needing medical assistance. We also just traveled out to Santo Domingo to attend to people who lost their homes in Pedernales and are being sheltered in the Covenant campgrounds.

The smell of decaying corpses was horrible. This is taken from the town of Tarqui, just outside of Manta. One of the areas hardest hit. This section is being blocked off because all of the buildings are unstable and the whole neighborhood will have to be demolished.

In this home were 20 family members and extended family members. 7 lost their lives but 13 were able to be rescued.
