I feel like every other update of ours could be entitled “Transitions” Seems as if we are continually\u00a0either transitioning in\/ out of a new country, new house, new ministries, or new friendships. In the midst of this we are thankful for a God who never changes.Currently Josh is finishing his role of co-pastoring the Jipijapa church and stepping into his new role of leadership with the Ecuadorian Evangelical Covenant Church.This past Sunday he stepped down from his 2 year role as co-pastor. Pablo (left) will continue in his role as co-pastor of the church and Noe (right) was called to take over where Josh left off, joining the pastoral team.\"Pastors\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pastoral Council:<\/b>\u00a0In addition to working more closely in partnership and leadership with the national church, Joshua has also recently joined the Pastoral Council.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Pastoral Council is an elected group of six ordained ministers tasked with the responsibility of spiritual direction and pastoral care for the national church for a three year term.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last Saturday he had the privilege of representing the Pastoral Council installing Pastor Roberto in his church – one of the many responsibilities of this team.<\/p>\n
