In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit\u00a0himself intercedes for us\u00a0through wordless groans. \u00a0And he who searches our hearts\u00a0knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes\u00a0for God\u2019s people in accordance with the will of God. \u00a0~ Romans 8:26,27<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Throughout our time in ministry in Ecuador, we have been so impressed about the need for prayer in our ministry. \u00a0It has been through God’s goodness and providence that we have been able to go to Ecuador and back, serve a short-term as missionaries, be so blessed in ministry and have every need met along the way. \u00a0It seems as though every single time we had a significant need that arose, whether it be emotional, social, financial or whatever other type, God came, saw and met our need in a way that only He could.<\/p>\n

You all, our\u00a0family, friends and\u00a0supporters, have been His instruments in making the difference in our ministry. \u00a0Through your prayers, giving and support of us and our ministry, you all have made a significant difference in meeting our every little need. \u00a0We can never, ever thank you all enough for your faithful\u00a0commitment\u00a0and support for us. \u00a0THANK YOU FOR FAITHFULLY PRAYING FOR US.<\/p>\n

Just recently, we have been reminded again about the continued need for ongoing prayer in our lives in ministry. \u00a0Spiritual warfare is at battle all around us. \u00a0The devil does not want us to return to Ecuador and that our ministry continue. \u00a0He doesn’t want us to partner with IPEE in creating new ministries to at-risk children and through medicine. \u00a0In addition, we just have been overwhelmed by the amount of continuous, monthly support that we need to raise before we can return. \u00a0WE<\/strong><\/span> CAN’T DO IT! \u00a0The good thing is: GOD<\/strong><\/span> CAN!!! \u00a0Where humans fall short, God always prevails. \u00a0We just want to ask you all to pray that in this year that we will be able to invite and recruit the necessary amount of new ministry partners that we are able to return to Ecuador when we are planning. \u00a0Though this task seems extremely daunting to us at this point, we know that anything is possible with God.<\/p>\n

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MINISTRY OF PRAYER FOR US AND OUR MINISTRY!!!<\/p>\n

Please know that we are also praying for you. \u00a0We have a list of all of our supporters and have a calendar setup where we are praying for one of you each day. \u00a0So, please know that you also are in our prayers!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/sup>This is the confidence\u00a0we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>And if we know that he hears us\u2014whatever we ask\u2014we know\u00a0that we have what we asked of him. ~ 1st John 5:14,15<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
