Departure Date 2 Days Away                                        

Hello Everyone.

          Boy have I been making progress on packing. Thanks for your prayers. Friends have come to help, done errands and fed us. Thank you. Thank you.



Can you find 11 suitcases?  : )


Small World. Big God.

          We watch for Ecuador connections each week. Today a friend of Jay’s said he’d caught a story on the radio about Patti, a mom who moved to  Shell, Ecuador, to teach at the school our children will attend. She brought her four children after the death of their father. It’s a heart-warming story of God’s leading and provision during great tragedy. Listen at http://words.net/2012/08/10/experiencing-gods-grace-in-the-midst-of-deep-grief-pattis-story/

          Then Jay went to the courthouse to get fingerprinted (for his medical license application) and the jailer said her cousin is a missionary in Shell. We look forward to meeting her.

Praising the Provider

          Wanted to let you know that about 90% of the expenses for this trip have been covered by donations and pledges. We praise God for his faithfulness in providing for this ministry through so many of you. We thank all of you who are participating in this ministry by giving or praying.

If you aren’t familiar with how mission trips are paid for, here are a few details:  We are self-funded meaning we do not draw a salary. We are working volunteers through HCJB Global. Our living and work expenses are supported by donations to us through HCJB Global. That ministry has been on the ground in Ecuador since 1939. Visit their website (hcjbglobal.org) to learn more or watch videos about the ministries there. To learn more about our ministry read our blog post called Daily Life.

Glad to be taking this journey with your support! 

Blessings,

Lynnelle
