Wednesday in Cuenca

Dear Friends,

We continue to feel your prayers as we share the truth and strength of the gospel of Jesus Christ. How amazing to truly carry out the great commission. The week has flown by and we can't believe that tomorrow is our last day on our campaign. Pray that our final day will be filled with more disciples and professions of faith.

John enjoyed the children's ministry today in Bullcay. Forty children attended and 38 professed Jesus as savior. How amazing to think that we have 38 new little brothers and sisters in Christ.

In Bullcay today they also were able to lead two people to Christ using the evangecube. We continue to marvel at the simple truth of the gospel. There are so few steps involved in God's plan of salvation, and yet how many of us try to complicate our repentance.

In Paute today we found the valley empty because it was market day. Feeling discouraged we headed into the afternoon where God had great surprises in store. Audie waited for people to show up for cell group and just when he decided that no one was coming, fruit. Some people came from a house we had visited and wanted to know what was happening and then were able to hear the gospel. Children's ministry works because one of the cell group visitor was a mother wondering what her child was doing with the children's group. She decided to go to cell group and then accepted Jesus as her savior.

How great is our God!
Another soccer (aka futbol) game took place today. Ecuador vs. Colombia. Some of us came back to the hotel early and made a visit to the mall in Cuenca. It looked like a little bit of America and we enjoyed our Burger King.

A few comforts of home do not compare to the real thing and being with all of you. However, we love our work so much we would gladly stay longer to see more fruit and forsake the comforts of home.

We hope you can enjoy some more pictures of our trip.

Please, pray for the strong completion of our work. Pray for the nationals who are going to take over the ministry and the new Christians in our family of God.

We covet your prayers!

Amy
