Join Our Journey: Christmas in Quito

Last year so many of you helped me fund my mission trip to Quito, Ecuador. This year, my daughter Grace and I will be traveling to Quito in November to volunteer with Extreme Response International with their Christmas Celebration team. ER is essential in the lives of many living in extreme poverty in Quito.

Grace and I will serve the Children of Quito and their families for one week participating in Christmas parties, visiting the Dream Center and other local churches and communities. Our hope is to raise enough funds to cover our airfare and our stay in Quito. We appreciate every dollar donated.

"Global poverty is more than lacking food, shelter, education, and healthcare. Governance, discrimination, conflict and wars, violence, political instability, and natural disasters all play a role in poverty’s perpetual cycle. Without education and opportunities, this cycle repeats from generation to generation.

Physical poverty is a battle in and of itself and is often compounded by spiritual poverty evident in a feeling of hopelessness. Some have never heard of the word of God, felt the love of Jesus, or seen the Holy Spirit move in their lives."
