At the end of August the Ecuadorian Covenant Church hosted an International Leadership Summit attended by\u00a0around 160 pastors, leaders and youth from Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela! The speakers were from Peru, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and the States, they shared a wealth of cross cultural wisdom and experience and from the feedback we are receiving, it was a blessing to our local leaders. Thank you for praying for this event!<\/p>\n
