Last night we had our Ecuador Share share service. First off, our crowd was off the chain. We had between 250 and 275 people there last night. WOW! We tried to gear everything around missions last night. Our worship team played “Where The Streets Have No Name” by U2 and we had video footage of [...]
Band Practice, Organizing Worship, and our Dream House
Just got home from band practice. It was great! I am really excited about our student worship service this week. Our team that went to Ecuador will share with their fellow students how God worked, how their life has been changed, and why other students should do missions. It will be powerful. I think it [...]

God is STILL doing amazing things through our Ecuador team. Several of them got invited to share with their Spanish classes about sharing Jesus in Ecuador.

Back In La Grange (Spanish for “The Grange”) Part Two
Thanks for giving me a couple of days off from the blog. I was worn out when I got home, then had to preach Sunday. To say that Friday was a LONG day was an understatement. We got up between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. Friday. We ate breakfast at the camp and then said our goodbyes [...]

Thursday Morning Update
It has been a while since I’ve updated. So much to write about. Yesterday morning, we went back to the school in Sucre. Our purpose yesterday morning was to pass out the pictures we took Monday morning. As I mentioned in an earlier post, nobody in Ecuador has pictures of themselves or their kids. Yesterday [...]
Tuesday Evening Update
It has been an incredible day in Sucre. This afternoon we went back to the escuela in Sucre. The kids were beautiful and loving, and I think they blessed us more than they blessed them. We had 251 kids today and expect MORE tomorrow. WHEW! One thing that has really blown us away is that [...]
Bueños Dias!
Bueños Dias! It is 10:30 here and we have already worked hard this morning. We have finished up our prep work for the Vacation Bible Schools that will start today at 3:00. Be in prayer! God continues to reveal His glory and plans to us. How cool is this: we had no idea what our [...]
