Ecuador 2016 Sunday and Monday

Yesterday and today were great!

We landed around midnight Sunday morning, waited in line to report a lost bag, got a little sleep, had breakfast, and attended the Sunday morning service.  We celebrated with them in two baptisms, and we spent time getting to know the people here in the local church.  Later in the afternoon, we picked up the lost bag, experienced the tremors of a 5.9 earthquake 220 miles away, and had a nice devotional together in the evening.

This morning, we purchased buckets and prepared the filter kits for distribution.  This afternoon, we formed four teams and gave filters to 17 homes.  I felt like the way our team walked through the streets was like living water flowing through the neighborhood; indeed, we are vessels for clean water and living water.  I felt the heartbeat of God, the compassion of our Heavenly Father reaching out to His children, the intense love of Christ Jesus who gave His life to rescue us from death, and the flow of the Holy Spirit through us and among us in the lives of the families who received the filters.

Heavenly Father, please help us grow in knowing and experiencing you. Please protect us from spiritual attack and make us overcomers. You are so good, and I love you.  I ask in the name of Jesus.
