Ecuador Mission Trip

On July 31, Noah, Shannon Willey, and I traveled with a team of 9 people from Real Hope Community Church to Ecuador. Our mission was to start new churches. That would be accomplished by working with existing churches to evangelize and disciple new people.

Noah and I were teamed up with a lady named Julie from Real Hope. Shannon was teamed up with a guy named Steve from Real Hope. I will be writing from Noah and my perspective.

On Saturday night and Sunday morning, my team worshiped with our host church. It was great to meet the people who we would be working with and worshiping with them. Through our translator, we were able to learn more about their church and have conversation about many things. Though Noah couldn’t speak Spanish and the Ecuadorian children couldn’t speak English, they all enjoyed playing soccer together and had a great time.

Sunday afternoon and each day following, our team would travel to our mission site and go door to door sharing the EvangeCube. When someone heard the message of Jesus Christ and accepted Him into their hearts, we would then offer them a Bible and start discipling them. It was an awesome experience.

My team produced 34 new believers to start a new church. Between Shannon’s team and my team, we started 2 new international churches in four days. That is very exciting.

More stories will come in the near future. God is working in amazing ways. Please pray for our Ecuadorian brothers and sisters. They still have a lot of work ahead of them, but they are on the way!
