Pastor Drew with Eduardo translating. I wish I were good at witty captions, for this photo deserves one.
Ecuador's been experiencing blackouts of 4 to 8 hours a day due to lack of rainfall and the fact that most of our power comes from hydroelectric damns. so here the church has a candlelight Bible Study.

Noemi's Quinceanera in the Country
















Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was changed to Cars, Busses, Canoes, and Foot for Noemi's quinceanera (15th birthday celebration). Her mom wanted Mike to share God's Word with her family. I wish we could report many hands waving in the air to receive Christ, but unfortunately, they kind of slunk out of the room one by one on various pretexts. Those of us from the church who stayed quite enjoyed the message.

Olimpia's back and we're so happy!


After 5 months in Rumania and England, Olimpia's back and we're so thrilled.

Pastoral duties


Some pastoral duties are more fun than others. Here's Mike attending Lady Plaza's music program at school.

Recent Baños Trip







Two weeks ago, P. Mike and Enrique went to Baños. They usually have ten to twelve people come out to the Bible studies. Some highlights recently have been new believers going out evangelizing and new visitors to almost every Bible study.
