E3 Update from Equador: A Healthier Summer!

     Morning from Quito, It's Friday morning...we finished our 5th & final clinic yesterday and drove 5 hours through the Andres back to Quito. By every accounting, our trip was a great success and we're thankful to our Lord for His grace over all that we did. Each day people received medical care, had teeth pulled, received reading glasses, got community health instruction, had a new water filtration system installed for their community and heard the gospel through both personal testimony & sharing of an evangelistic film.  I don't have any final numbers, but there were many who professed faith in Christ.  As always, I asked people I talked to if they'd ever heard this message before...almost all of them said, "no, they'd never heard it!"

“Free at last!”

     "Free at last!" The words of the famous song were sung by many today as people gathered to celebrate the birth of a new nation- the Republic of South Sudan. I met three ladies early this morning on their way to the celebration who told me, "Today is a great day for our nation! It makes our troubles worthwhile. We are free! We are a people and we are a nation." The neighbors in the north have told the Southern Sudan black and christian alike, that they were not human, but worst than slaves. But today the sentiments and feelings of the majority of the new nation were made clear through signs, songs, tears, joy, and celebration. Today their dignity is defended. Today, the people of Southern Sudan are free. What a joy to witness such a historic moment in the life of a nation whose people have ... Continue reading...
