|  | |  “Bienvenidos en el nombre de Jesucristo!” The greeting echoes off the concrete of the church walls. The grumbling exhaust of passing trucks and the incessant drone of vendors selling their wares just outside muffles the sound, but not the significance of the statement. This is Ecuador, a small country on the northwestern part of South America. The simple greeting in the name of Jesus Christ might seem incidental except for the fact that less than a year ago, no one in this community would have uttered such words. A year ago, a ministry team of Americans and Ecuadorians came with a message of peace and hope. Home Bible studies began with several families. As the message was understood and people were saved, these families began meeting together for fellowship and worship. A church was born. Though still in its infancy, the maturity of this small band of believers grows every week. Soon, leaders will emerge, and the American element no longer be necessary. That is church planting in Ecuador, and God has called us to be a part of it! To watch an introductory video of our ministry (112MB)
