Another quick story from Monday in Ambato with our e3 team … Terri Long is part of a group with members from Washington state and California. They’re taking a bus an hour outside of the city to help plant a church in San Fernando. Their story goes before them and prepares the way! As they’re getting off the bus, dozens of Ecuadorians are waiting for them to know more about what they’re doing and why they’re showing up every day. They are hungry to hear more about Jesus and having a relationship with the Lord. The American team is sharing its testimonies about life back at home and what it means to follow Jesus.
The response from the locals has been overwhelming! One teacher has asked the e3 team to show up at her school and share with 21 other teachers AND about 250 schoolchildren!! On Wednesday, an administrator will work with the teachers, and another woman will head into the classroom. San Fernando will also get a visit from our karate guru Gary.
More than 80 professions of faith in two days and nearly 60 kids participating in the childrens’ program demonstrate the power of God is alive and well in Ambato!
