Dear friends and family,
It has been a wonderful time here in Ecuador! Daniela and I have been stretched in so many ways and have learned so much through the discipleship process that we walked through this summer. We gained many new friendships while we were here, and we got to visit and see many of Daniela´s friends that live here in Quito.
As I reflect on this summer and realizing how fast it went by, the greatest thing I am going to take home with me is the experience El Refugio gave me, in terms of doing one-on-one discipleship with the guy interns, and especially being forced to speak Spanish and pray in Spanish with one of them. This confirms to me even more that discipleship is what I have been called to do for God´s kingdom.
I think being down here all summer was a great time for Daniela to spend with her family, and see what God is doing in her father, grandfather, and in her brother. It has truly been a blessing the time that we have gotten to spend with them, and to pour into them and encourage them while we have been here.
Daniela and I will be getting on the plane to come back to the United States this evening. Please pray for God´s hand of protection over the flight as we fly back to Boston, especially as one of our flights will be flying parrallel with Hurricane Irene tomorrow morning. We praise God for this summer, for His provision, His protection, and we thank Him for your giving, praying, and generous hearts who gave toward our mission here in Ecuador. We eagerly look forward to sharing with you in person these experiences we had, and what God is doing down here. Dios te bendiga! See you all soon!
In Christ Jesus,
