debriefing which ended up being from about 9AM to 1 or 1:30. \u00a0It was so worth it though! \u00a0We enjoyed a wonderful time of brainstorming and dreaming together about what the future may look like for all of us in Ecuador, ways to partner with already existing ministries&#8230;etc&#8230; \u00a0We will talk more about that later.<\/p>\n<p>After a morning of excitement, dreaming and having a lot of things just &#8216;come together&#8217; like a puzzle, we headed out to Papallacta. \u00a0On the way there, we saw a rainbow. \u00a0Some of you may have read Joel&#8217;s previous post about God&#8217;s promises through a rainbow. \u00a0If not, you can read it <a title=\"God's Promises\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/?p=1914\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had never seen the end of a rainbow until this one. \u00a0It kind of followed us for about 10 or 15 minutes, or maybe we followed it, I&#8217;m not sure. \u00a0But it was such a reminder to me of God&#8217;s promises. \u00a0After our meeting, I think we all felt very energized to finally see and talk about future possibilities for the center for at-risk children and medical clinic. \u00a0This was such a wonderful reminder to me that God is in control and He is faithful to keep His promises, no matter how big or small.<\/p>\n<p>More to come later&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=1988&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
