Go Ye {Ecuador}
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ~Mark 16:15
In the poorer section of Tumbaco, Ecuador, missionaries Francisco and Juanita Vargas minister to underprivileged children and youth. Like missionaries across the world they’ve answered the call to serve on a level I cannot comprehend. I’ve never met them but some very special friends of mine have and I’ve heard all about their mission and the summer camp they hold for these children.
We’re not all called to fulfill the literal part of going in Mark 16:15 or Matthew 28:19-20. Those who can’t go, send. We support our churches’ missions and missionaries with our finances and prayers. We applaud family and friends who answer the call to go even for brief missions trips.
This year I’ve heard the call to go. In August I’ll join some amazing people and go to Ecuador to assist those who are called 365 days a years to teach and preach the gospel. I’ll see some of the faces I’ve seen across computer screens.
Like Dayana Barahona:
And Luis Miguel Toapanta:
I’ll have the opportunity to witness firsthand what I’ve only heard about in testimony to God’s faithfulness on past trips to this camp. I’ll have the privilege of sharing the love of Christ with these children.
I’ve struggled much with the very idea of me going across seas to offer help to these precious children. After all, who am I? I’ve seen the person in the mirror and I know her every weakness. But truth and the realization that this line of thinking is nothing short of pride hit me hard. Who am I? It really doesn’t matter. It’s not about me at all. It’s about Him.
I don’t doubt that He’ll provide the funds for me to go and He’ll prepare the way as we seek Him on behalf of this upcoming trip and the precious children we’ll have the privilege to minister to. He’s faithful. He provides. And He does it through people.
So I’m asking you to prayerfully consider sponsoring one of these children. The cost per child for camp is $40 with additional costs for transportation and materials. Approximately 60 children are expected to attend camp this year.
We aren’t all called to go. But we can send. And we can help ease the burden of those that are sent. Needs are met when we all do our part. Please pray and ask if He would have you be a part of meeting the need for these children to attend camp.
To make a donation or sponsor a child please send your check with Ecuador Camp in the memo to First Baptist Church Indian Trail at P.O. Box 2550, Indian Trail, NC 28079.
Whether we answer the call to go or to send, if we’ll do our part together we’ll fulfill The Great Commission.
