The Ecuador North Coast District held it's 28th district assembly and conventions this past week at the district campgrounds in Santo Domingo, Ecuador. General Superintendent Dr. Eugenio Duarte was the special speaker and presided over the assembly while Regional Director Dr. Christian Sarmiento translated. NAF Director Dwight Rich helped with logistics. The district has 40 churches with 15 of those being missions. We decided to update our security team. We added a chocolate Labrador, Chloe who is three months old. By the time the next team comes Jack, on left and Nakita, on right will have her trained on how to catch the frisbee, aka plastic paint can lids. It will be up to Jon to train her not to go out the gate and to stay away from cars. This is the photo shoot, just like family pictures not everyone likes to look at the camera at the same time. Jack got tired of sitting, Nakita was hiding out in the dog house when we started and didn't want to come. Chloe, well she is just new to the camera idea and was more interested in the new jewelry around her neck.
What if you lived in the murder capital of the world? Would you pray?
What if your wife had cancer and there was no medication available? Would you pray? What if you had to stand in line for 9 hours to buy bread? Would you pray? What if you couldn't go out after dark because of life-threatening danger? Would you pray? What if you made $25/month and a tire for your 1976 car cost $200? Would you pray? What if in your church you regularly saw... - dozens of new followers of Jesus make a life-changing profession of faith - saw instantaneous miracles of healing - people divinely delivered from a lifetime of addiction, and crippling sin - couples living together for years with multiple children kneeling before the Lord to ask Him to be the Lord of the home and getting married for the first time... (Thoughts from Warren Lathem, Methodist missionary) Today these situations are part of everyday life in Venezuela. Would you pray? We are asking you to join us in prayer for the people of Venezuela who are living in these circumstances everyday. 8 out of 10 families cannot afford the cost of food in a week so they are eating only two meals a day. Please help us pray for these things:
