Hola from the Central Highlands of Ecuador!
Today the Latacunga team had an awesome day! We started with a visit to the local branch of Policia National. Our Karate guru Gary taught the policia ways to disarm criminals and secure them safely. At the end of the demonstration they divided into groups so that we Americans could share our testimonies and our faith. Dozens prayed to accept Jesus!
As we were leaving, the Squad Commander stopped to share with us that he is a Christian and has been lonely as the only believer. He has been praying for God to open doors with his men. Then today happened! What an amazing blessing for him and for us! Praise God!
Also in Latacunga… we have 12 year old Ben from Washington State. As we were standing on the corner waiting for a taxi, Ben shared his faith with a man. The man asked Jesus into his heart! There are people who question why children are on these missions… yet the Bible says in 1 Timothy 4:12 that even the young can be called by God!
Our soccer team also spent the day in Latacunga and had a chance to play two rounds of games with a group of children and then teens. They all enjoyed the competition as well as the gifts from ESPN Radio! But most importantly, they listened intently as we witnessed to them. Many of them prayed to receive Christ in their hearts! What a privilege to plant seeds in the lives of these young people in Ecuador!
