2014 Summer Mission Team Updates

FBCBG Ecuador Team is ready to take on the day. Janice and Kristy will be headed to church with Joe and Johanna. Jane Chip and Bruce will be headed to church in Cayambe with Jhoe and Jill. Please pray for joy as we worship with our Ecuadorian friends. Please also pray for discernment as we take on the day.
Our Friend Blanca prepared empanadas for lunch today !!Delicious !!!!


FBCBG Ecuador update-Monday morning in Tabacundo. The day has begun cloudy and cool. Jane began her day with a run. The rest of us are drinking our coffee and tea. Yesterday was such a blessing as we worshipped with our Ecuadorian brothers and sisters. In the afternoon some of us recovered from the late arrival with a siesta. We met with one of our translators and met a friend of hers. Things are gearing up for the week. Today we meet with more friends. Our translator Alex joins us and later today Bruce will be going to Paola's school to see if we can borrow some equipment for our Thursday movie night. Please pray doors will open, so we will not have to rent equipment. Thank you for your continued prayers. 

FBCBG Ecuador update-Monday has come and almost gone. Amazing how God continues to direct our path. Then again, should it really surprise us? We began our day with a devotional and prayer time where we specifically asked God for wisdom about what to do. And he led us. We took the bus to Otavalo, where we visited the market place, made some purchases and handed out a few tracks as we felt led. Then we went to Cayambe where we ate empanadas and shared Bible truths with Blanca. However, we arrived early and she shooed us away at first. So we walked around the "mall" where she works and came across a Christian store!!! We had never seen it before!! It was so neat to be able to support a Christian business in Cayambe. After our 3pm lunch (maybe more like a lupper) we went to the store and then split up our teams. JaneChip, and Alex returned to Tabacundo where they met old friends and made new friends, too! Janice, Bruce and Kristy went to Paola's school to try to work out some equipment issues for Thursday. Although the school did not have exactly what we needed, Paola suggested we ask a friend of hers. Her mom was at the school and although Paola could not leave, her mom took us to meet Jose Luis. We had to take a bus and here is the especially neat part-on the bus someone recognized Bruce and Janice!!! Henry, who is on our prayer sheet! Our teams had not seen him since last October! He has a lot of questions and wants to join us on Thursday for the movie! God used a closed possibility to put us on a bus so we could meet up with Henry. Awesome! We three came "home" and Paulina, one of our interpreters, had come for a visit. She is always such a blessing to be around. We are now all tired and headed to bed. Please continue to ask God to direct our steps. He is answering!!!!
