He Painted a Picture just for Me Tonight
Thursday, 04 July 2013
As I stepped onto the roof this evening to wash my clothes (that’s where I do laundry), my mouth fell wide open in awe as I beheld the stunning view of Volcano Sangay and Volcano El Altar, snow capped and standing so tall and proud, in all their glory. Yes, I’ve lived here for 7

Tears on the Altar
Wednesday, 03 July 2013
Some of our beautiful Kichwa Indian young people praying in the altar, crying out to the Lord, at our Puyupungo church. So beautiful are the tears that fall on these wooden altars! Jesus sees every one and hears every prayer! The Lord is moving in Ecuador!

Nothing more Beautiful
Monday, 01 July 2013
There is nothing more beautiful to me than children praying and crying in the presence of the Lord. Tonight’s service at Puyo was just that! Esmeralda is only 6, and her family does not come to church, but every chance she gets, she is here and she always weeps in His presence. Mayde is 10.
Willing to Leave it all Behind
Sunday, 30 June 2013
At church in Talin today, the message the Lord gave me to preach was about brothers who, when Jesus passed by and called them, left everything to go and follow Him. The question is: How many are willing to give it all up, to leave behind everything, if so be necessary, to follow the Lord?
The Harvest is Plenty!
Thursday, 27 June 2013
Today we worked in the garden at our Puyupungo church. I love getting my hands dirty and searching for beautiful yucca that have grown underneath the ground. Our sugar cane are enormous (many about 11 feet tall), our banana trees are gigantic (about 20-25 feet tall, but they take about 9 months to produce one

Who’s afraid of a Tarantula?? Not Abuelita Rosa!
Wednesday, 26 June 2013
While picking up folks for church at Talin on Saturday, I saw a huge brown tarantula crawling on the ground outside. (They are common and we have seen many, especially in Talin, but still, it’s a tarantula! So each time we see one, we still get all excited, and yell “Tarantula”!:-) But this time, I

Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven
Tuesday, 25 June 2013
After a long day and church in the afternoon at Puyupungo, I arrived to my home tonight, very tired and ready to relax. But as soon as I sat down, I heard 3 sweet voices calling out my name at my door, “Hermana Susana”. It was 8PM at night, and they had walked here (30

And ye shall receive POWER!
Monday, 24 June 2013
Jesus gave power unto His disciples to go and preach and heal the sick and cast out devils. He has given us that same power, the power of the Holy Ghost! And we are using that power for His glory! Hallelujah!! Tonight, in our Puyo service, we prayed in the power of the Holy Ghost
The Wages of Sin is Death
Sunday, 23 June 2013
What a great message Charles preached at Talin yesterday, Romans 6:23, “The wages of sin is death….” He taught the people to realize that even the smallest sin could be hindering their walk with God, and slowly bring them to a spiritual death, and eventually an eternity in Hell, a lake of fire. What a
