Hola friends, we are starting off the winter
season by celebrating our 38-year wedding
anniversary. We look much different today,
than we did back in 2010 when this photo
was taken for our first brochure.
Transportation – not a problem:
People arrive to
our ministry center walking, pushed
in wheelchairs, on crutches’, in taxis,
on scooters, and in buses. It is not
uncommon to see 5 or 6 people on a
motorcycle. Some families make
several get the whole family to our
ministry center.
New Bible Clubs: We have started new Bible
clubs in two communities close to our ministry
center in Olón and Manglaralto. Our hope is
that the people from the community will come
to the ministry center for the Sunday night
service and Tuesday night outreach.
National Kid’s Day: Your donations helped to
purchase these bucket hats for this
year’s gift to the children for National
Kid’s Day. They were
so excited to receive
their own hat. This
gift is so beneficial
because the hats
provide great sun
protection.
Wheelchair for faithful gentleman: We have a Venezuelan
gentleman that faithfully attends our
Sunday night service and Tuesday night
outreach. He has polio and walks on
crutches for the long walk to our building.
He was so happy to receive a donated
wheelchair. This is a tangible way to show
the Love of Jesus Christ.

Planting Seeds: Another opportunity to share the Gospel and
show the Love of Christ in a tangible and sustainable way.
André’s father, Angel Gomezcoello launched
his project agriculture in several of our
communities with parents from our Bible
clubs. Your donations help provide for his
travel expenses and provide the seedlings,
fertilizer, and other materials the students
need. In this project, the students learn to grow fruits and
veggies. This will help provide food for
their family, and what they do not eat,
they can sell to provide income and buy
new seeds. It is very sustainable. All the
while, sharing the Gospel with them and
disciplining them. Little do they
know they are planting and
harvesting in agriculture, but we are planting seeds
of the Gospel and harvesting souls for the Kingdom
of God. Seen in the photo, a student reading her
devotional, we gave after one of the lessons.
Good news: We are running about 26-30 people, not
including our staff, in our Sunday night Bible Study, and over
250 people in our Tuesday night evangelical outreach to the
Glory of God. It’s beginning to look like a church on Sunday.
Prayer: Please pray for Staff. We need more Bilingual
Ecuadorian staff and gringos to help with other outreaches,
such as teaching ELS (English as a second language) and drug
rehabilitation classes. Also, pray for our leaders and our Bible
clubs, including the Sunday night Worship Service, the
Tuesday night community evangelistic outreach, and that the
people of these communities will come to Christ!
Thank you for your support! We are grateful for each one of
you, for your continued prayers, and financial support to the
ministry. Your donations support the work of the Gospel
being shared in the Southern Andes mountains and on the
coast in Ecuador.
Blessings, Gary & Dena Pate
