ECUADOR :)

We've had two full days of ministry in Ecuador, and God has already been working in many hearts! A few of the flights got cancelled, so all of our students weren't here on the first ministry day. SO, I got to be a part of the drama! SEVEN people gave their lives to Christ that day! It was so amazing to see that even though the day started overwhelming and different than what we'd hoped for, it ended EXACTLY the way God planned and wanted it to. All the girls in my tuck-in room that night agreed that it was cool to see God work in that way.

By God's grace, all of our students made it to Ecuador and got to participate in our second ministry day! They performed the drama three times in a park, and afterwards we were able to talk one on one with the Ecuadorians about Jesus and His never-ending love for them. We also got to play with the Ecuadorian children in the park and do face paint! TWENTY-EIGHT people were adopted into God's family that day! Praise Jesus! God is so good!!!

Many of the students have asked for prayers of boldness. A lot of them have never been on a mission trip before and aren't fluent in Spanish. So, they're having feelings of inadequacy. Please pray that God would breathe truth over them. God is bigger than a language barrier!! Pray that we would be confident and bold in our faith and that God would reveal His Son through us. Pray also for health. Many of the students have been struggling with altitude sickness and sunburn. Pray that the Lord would heal them and and strengthen them so that they can be refreshed for the ministry day ahead of us tomorrow!

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers thus far :) God bless!
