Adventures and Encounters

“Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is
– where life and death, sin and grace, Heaven and Hell converge.” – Robert C. Shannon

Pastor Appreciation

Every time I am together with the Ecuadorians praising Jesus, it’s wonderful!! But yesterday, my precious congregation at Puyo church made it even more special; they honored me for Pastor Appreciation Day. As I heard their words of love and gratitude, I was moved to tears. I wept praising the Lord for His perfect plan,

I Have Visitors

My visitors from Kentucky USA (Pastor Larry Shemwell’s Church) have been such a great blessing here in Ecuador. They have learned songs in Spanish and Kichwa and sang them in the services, they have played drums, they have testified and preached (in English and I translated), they have bought rice and other foods and hygiene

PRAYING FOR THE SICK

Praying for the sick at Puyo Church….What a beautiful service. James 5:16 “….and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
It blesses me to see families praying together in my churches. God created family. He knew the power that would come from a strong, praying family. The devil has seen strongholds, generational curses, chains that have been broken by Godly families. Therefore, one of his strongest attacks is against family. But this right here, families

Baptizing in Jesus Name

What an honor it was to baptize this husband and wife from our Puyo Church, in the precious Name of Jesus. They have decided, along with their children, to serve the Lord together as a family. What you don’t see in the pictures is that we barely made it out of the water before a
Traveling for Jesus by Air, Land and Sea….Left Manila, Philippines and flew an hour and a half to Cebu, then took a bus for four hours, then an hour and fifteen-minute boat ride, and another hour in the bus to finally arrive to beautifull Madridejos on Bantayan Island in the Visayan Sea, Philippines. So excited
