EFCCM - Esperanza Viva - Prayer Update
Casilla 05-01-269 - Latacunga - Ecuador, South America
Jan. 18th 2006
"Hermano David, please pray that God would give me new teeth, I so want to be able to preach again". Pastor Andres lost the last of his teeth a couple of years ago. This affected his ability to speak clearly.
How can a short term mission trip connect with a long term missions vision? EFCCM missionaries John and Naomi Hall brought a small group down from Canada to find out. As John observed the ministries of Esperanza Viva The operative word he came up with to describe our efforts was "enablement". And that is just what they did in their efforts to connect their gifts to the needs they discovered. They did this through…
A piece of Candy…
An interest in a family…
A gift for new teeth…
Teaching…
Student participation…
Stretching the mind…
All of these activities and more contributed to the long term vision of EFCCM’s ministry of Esperanza Viva to enable national leaders, their projects and churches.
Thank you John, Naomi, Bob, Donna and Helen!!!
Repairing…
Creating…
Prayer and Praise!
Our son Jonathan was accepted to study at Moody Bible Institute for the fall semester of 2006! Pray for his transition and future steps to prepare for full time Christian service.
Home assignment is on the horizon (details to follow in future updates). Pray our plans to return to the U.S. this July through early 2007 to visit family, friends and supporting churches.
May His Name Be Praised!
Ross, for Mary and the kids
