In Me
November has been an amazing month for us. Ken went to the jungle to work with the Tsáchila people with a couple of men for a few days. They experienced life for the "Colorado" people, called this because of the red dye they use in their hair. It was an amazing time for him as he saw first hand the people of this tribe living out their culture and heritage, but now using the Bible to guide them spiritually in their new Christian walk. He asks that you pray for these people as they seek the Lord, to live for Him and know more of Him each day.
I was able to go on a 9 day medical mission trip with a church from Oklahoma (Henderson Hills). We had clinics in Guayaquil, Zaruma and Pasaje, with me covering over 32 hours in 1 week on the road. We saw over 500 patients, treating medical and dental needs, but also seeking to help them spiritually. At the end of clinic we would have a night time church service in each location to share God's word and love with the people of these communities. We saw on our last night in Pasaje several people give their lives to Christ, and several recommit their lives as well. As one of our team members Tommy said at the end of the trip, "We planted some seed, watered some, and even saw some harvest."
Ken and I are are so thankful that God has allowed us to be a part of these amazing mission trips. Please pray with us that the people that were ministered to will grow in Christ and encourage each other as a young church. Please also pray for the pastors of the churches in these communities as they disciple the people and face the challenges of living in these areas.
