I´d like to send thanks and praise to my Lord, who privileged me with the following recent experiences:
1- Sunday, 31 July, last day of Mission: Ecuador, at Iglesia República where I attend, a young missionary spoke and cast some very wonderful wonderful visions and plans... and at the end of the service, after many came forward to accept Jesus, he asked another question, if anyone there was feeling called to be a missionary... 15 people came forward.
2- In the midst of a humongous crowd of people waiting for the inauguration of the Soccer Championship in Carolina Park at Coliseo Rumiñahui on Saturday morning, God sent the one person from the Municipio that I had met 1 time, who saw me, recognized me, said he knew where "my kids" were and took me back into the tunnels where they were all forming up to parade in... he took my foto with them, I got to meet their sponsor, give her my email and she said she´d let me know how they´re doing in the tournament. From the floor of the stadium, they made eye contact with me in the crowd of people in the bleachers, right while I was in the middle of praying for them. I didn´t find them again after the event, but did see they were getting their picture taken with dignitaries from the city.
3- After the book launch, I found out that 5 local hospitals are interested in having the Dysphagia program in their hospital. May God give Paty and Karla the strength, desire, and courage to follow through. And may the work I completed in God´s name here be good enough to hold up and get all those who are interested, moving forward on the subject.
I´ll be signing off on the blog now. But as Mission: Ecuador ends, a whole new phase complete with challenges and amazing adventures awaits. If I weren´t so technilogically-challenged, you´d have a bunch of fotos to look at right now. As I get settled at my next post, I´ll see what I can do to find someone to help me out in that area.
May God be with you all, every step of the way, as our journies with Him continue.
