Here’s the end result of the container’s arrival. We have a full apartment of boxes and storage containers that needed to be unloaded. It is a definite blessing to finally have this stuff but we sure wish our ministry schedule wasn’t so full so we had more time to unpack.
Oh boy!
Container arrives in Cayambe!
After almost a whole year from when we received our medical donations, they have FINALLY arrived in Cayambe to be used in our new clinic. It was quite the party while unloading the container.
Container released!
Angel in Heaven
My mom went to be with the Lord yesterday. It was a long hard fight against cancer in which she gave it her all but we all knew that the cancer would win in the end. She died peacefully at home with my dad, sister and brother all by her side. We will be traveling tomorrow to go home for the funeral. Here is her obituary: http://www.yoderculpfuneralhome.com/memsol.cgi?user_id=1509448
Thank you for your prayers!
IPEE’s Annual Meeting
We just got back from attending IPEE’s Annual Meeting in Santo Domingo in which Joel received the special designation of having his Ordination Recognized by IPEE, so he is now considered to be an Ordained Minister in Ecuador in addition to the United States. It was a very special event not only because all of the ordained ministers had their ordinations reaffirmed through the receiving of stolls but also because Curt Peterson, the ECC’s Executive Minister of World Mission, was in attendance and was a part of the event. Enjoy the pictures!
Welcome Wally!
We have a Garret Theological Seminary Student spending time with us this week. His name is Wally Kelly and we actually go back quite a while from when we used to both attend Northwest Covenant Church together. We look forward to spending time with Wally and getting the chance to show off our beautiful country! Welcome Wally!

THANK YOU NEW HARVEST CHRISTIAN CHURCH!
It was sad to see our team from New Harvest come and go so quickly but we are incredibly thankful for everything they could accomplish in their short time here. Thank you for your partnership in ministry!
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!
