Mission: Ecuador

I guess lots of tidbits of info will be going out all over the world about what happened in Quito yesterday. And even more speculation about why. But I saw God yesterday, and because you all prayed Him into our presence, I´m here telling you about it now.

First, I saw Him as phone calls started coming in from all over the city of Quito to a local radio station to report scenes of tranquility and order, as well as trouble-spots from all over the city.

I saw Him as, one-by-one, the banks and shopping centers decided to close rather than to face security risks. Most of this by 11:00-11:30am. And people went home,,,

I saw Him as, one-by-one official statements were made on national tv to stand-down, by officials and organizations with competing political interests.

I saw Him as, one-by-one financial and business representatives calmly announced there had been no bank emergency.

I saw Him again, as by 5-6pm reports were coming in from all over the country that calm and order had been restored in every province (except Pichincha, Quito). Even the airport was given back.

The President was back in the Presidential Palace by about 10:30pm if I remember right. And I saw my friend (a reporter who had been inside the hospital throughout the rescue) giving a live update at the scene as the sun came up this morning. Apparently, National Police and Military troops joined together to successfully evacuate the President.

I don´t know what you´ll all be hearing from there, or even what kind of information will be uncovered as the day goes on today, but as for me, I saw God yesterday. And there is no doubt in my mind that your immediate prayers for safety were answered. It all could have been so much worse.

Please don´t let your own, personal Mission: Ecuador stop now. Please pray for Ecuador´s public servants, and for President Correa - for Godly wisdom. There´s much to be sorted out, and maybe more difficulties pending. Your prayers are valuable, and efficient. You really do make a difference for all of us here. I think this is the chance of a lifetime for Ecuador.

God´s best to you all.
