Dear Friends,
Yesterday we closed our time in Cuenca together. How bitter sweet to leave behind our new families in Christ. I reflected today that in Christ we draw close to people from different places and cultures that we would normally have less in common with. Thursday found the Paute team still evangalizing and doing follow up and discipleship. In the last minutes before we left Paute we were still trying to share to gospel and spend time in discipleship. The children completed a cross craft where they drew a cross and then filled it in with sins. Later they took a cross and covered their sins. We discussed how Jesus covered our sins and gives a new life.
The Bullcay and the Guadaleceo team were able to go visit a local radio station where they recorded a 15 minute spot to be played locally this weekend.
Thursday night all the groups gathered together and ate dinner with the pastors and their wives. It was wonderful to visit together and learn how God had been at work in the different communites where we had been.
Here are a few numbers from our trip.
There were 166 presentations of the gospel. 112 people prayed to receive Christ. 99 people attended cell groups. 257 children participated in the children´s ministry. 73 follow up visits were made for discipleship. 38 nationals were trained to share the gospel and disciple. And 5 new cell churches were established.
How great is our God. We are truly humbled by what God has accomplished.
Today found us catcing a morning flight from Cuenca to Guayaquil. We arrived in Guayaquil about 10 am and have spent the day along the river and in the markets playing tourist. In Guayaquil there is park where hundreds of iguanas live in and around the trees. It is an incredible sight to see and we hope to add the pictures of this adventure later. We will be home tomorrow late.
Can´t wait to see you all and share even more about our trip.
In Him
Amy
