FBCBG Ecuador Mission Team #3 - Update

Tuesday, June 28, 2016

"That's beautiful" my favorite quote of the day. These were the words we heard from a new believer as we shared testimonies and scripture. We explained that we don't have it all together, we are completely broken without the Lord and we strive everyday to learn more about Him and His Word. The young lady we were sharing with was concerned that she wasn't well versed enough in the Bible to be baptized. We shared scriptures on Jesus' baptism and the story of the Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch. She is being baptized Saturday! One team went and spoke with a local business owner about having a movie night at his place and we settled on Sunday night for the movie showing. There is a big festival and parade in town tonight and he is very busy every other night. That team was also able to line up the swimming pool for baptisms on Saturday morning. This was the team with a few musicians and they were also able to meet with a local missionary and plan some music events. The other team spoke with several new believers about following up in baptism. One has confirmed, the young lady from the previous paragraph, that she will be baptized and three others who are speaking with their families because they want them to attend. This team also met with a believer here and set up a Bible study in her home set for Friday evening. This team also made a trip into Cayambe to get supplies for movie night and while at the store, we met a woman who works with Compassion International. How cool is that? She will be at our Bible study on Thursday evening. Every night on our calendar is full! We are praising Him for opening doors as He is always faithful! Lift up with us: 1: Divine appointments tomorrow as we hand out invitations for movie night 2: The other 3 believers will be able to arrange with family to attend their baptisms 3: Continued strength for the team as we move forward. Thank you again for your prayers!
