family comes to Ecuador"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Some often ask how our families are involved in the work here in Ecuador and how do they feel about what we&#8217;re doing.\u00a0 Many missionaries have many different answers for that and I suppose we are no different.\u00a0 Our families are involved in different ways and on different levels.\u00a0 However, I think most missionaries will tell you that having visits from\u00a0 your family to see what you do on the ground and living the day in day out life with you is encouraging and uplifting and just brings something more to you when family is willing to do that.<\/p>\n<p>We had this experience recently when our niece, Brianne (Joel&#8217;s sister&#8217;s daughter) and her husband Colton came down to volunteer and be with us for a week.\u00a0 It is the first time that either of them had been here and ALL of us were SO excited to have them!<\/p>\n<p>Brianne is going in to her last 2 years of pharmacy school at Cedarville University and Colton recently finished his MDIV at Cedarville as well.\u00a0 We put both of them to work and Brianne was able to use this time towards her international credits as well.\u00a0 Colton preaching at our partner church Iglesia Emanuel and doing home visits with our chaplain and care worker staff for the Home for At Risk children.\u00a0 He was able to visit families and children who had been reunited as well as families in the process currently.\u00a0 They prayed with families and counseled them.\u00a0 They also both got to know the children in the Home, playing UNO together, soccer games, pushing them on swings and just having fun as kids should.\u00a0 Brianne helped in our clinic.\u00a0 We soon realized she was &#8220;la experta&#8221; (the expert) in pill counting and we had her be in charge of helping with inventory of medications.\u00a0 She also helped review all the inventory of the clinic and storage areas, order medications and go through medications for expiration and other needs.\u00a0 We also did some fun sight seeing and relaxing too at the natural hot springs in Papallacta.<\/p>\n<p>It was so wonderful to spend time with them and to get to know Colton better as well.\u00a0 We see why Bri loves him so much!\u00a0 We do too!\u00a0 It was such an encouragement to see how God has gifted them both in their own areas of service and profession but woven their lives together.\u00a0 We are excited to see what their future holds!<\/p>\n<p>We are SO thankful they were able to come and experience life with us and see what life in Ecuador is like!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures from our time together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7804\"

God has brought our lives together to serve Him in any aspect we can. God has given us the vision to start a home for at risk children and a medical clinic in Ecuador, South America. This blog gives you a look into our lives and dreams. We know that we are simple people and often feel like Moses making excuses why others would be better equipped for His purpose. However, we cling to the promises that God has given us and we know that if God has called us, He will also equip us.
