Last weeks in Quito

"And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." (!!!!) Gal. 4:6

Dear friends,

This is the last notice I will send until I see some of you! Our Father is so glorious! I look back on these last five plus months and see His hand at work. At this point with less than two weeks until I enter the plane that will take me to Utah and then onto Seattle, I am starting to pack a bit and wrap things up here for this part of the journey. I will be returning here after my future training, Lord willing, but that will not be for a year or so. I have mixed feelings. I am really going to miss this community, the IBCI students and our neighbors but I am excited to gain more training and practical experience with Gospel Recordings to be applied here in the future.

One awesome report is that the Lord provided a gal, Juana Cuichan, to fill the administrator position for IBCI Quito! She accepted just days before the November 7th class. She signed an agreement to volunteer for at least two years. After she had signed the paper and we had taken a picture to mark the joyous event we prayed together. She said a thankful prayer to God and cried about how God was using her! God really supplied someone that is excited and empowered to do the job!

Since her decision earlier this month Amie and I have been training her for this, her new position. We even have all of our volunteer teams! We had a meeting for all interested volunteers and nine students showed up and all of them want to volunteer! This is truly God’s hand as when I was here last March we had a meeting with the Quito IBCI students to see if anyone would want to volunteer and for the most part we had only one consistent volunteer. Now we have 4 people on our registration team (one more than we even need), several on the operations team and others that are volunteering as well. We even have an official IBCI office to be used by the volunteers! One of our graduated students donated a bodega in the back of their house to be used as an office. We painted it a few weeks ago and electricity has been put in. We hope to be moved in the next week or so.

Thank you all for your prayers and more than generous support. God has supplied all of the funds to purchase a ticket to Culiacan, Mexico at the end of January to be involved in the outreach to the migrant workers and to start training. I send a warm email hug until I see many of you in a few weeks when you can trade it in for a real one!

Some friends in Everett, WA are hosting a dessert party on December 15th. I would love for you all to be there. It will be a relaxed time to connect, eat some sweets and we can all catch up. I will share some pictures…no more than 10-15 minutes worth…and be able to share more about this upcoming year in Mexico and Lord willing onto Colombia! This is a Tuesday night from 6pm to around 8 or so….Please RSVP by email: holygroundhere@yahoo.com

Love in Christ Jesus!
