Ecuador Theological Seminary In-Gathering

(2 Corinthians 9:11, ESV)

Please be in prayer about what God would have you give to the Ecuador Theological Seminary In-Gathering on September 13.  As you consider how God would have you involved financially in supporting this ministry, consider the words of Randy Alcorn:

“The opportunities for using our financial resources to spread the gospel and strengthen the church all over the world are stronger than they’ve ever been. As God raised up Esther for just such a time as hers, I’m convinced he’s raised us up, with all our wealth, to help fulfill the great commission. The question is, what are we doing with that money? Our job is to make sure it gets to his intended recipients.”

Missions Minute

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. (Hab. 2:14)

Praise God for the great trip our team had to Ecuador.  I trust that you heard their wonderful report this past Sunday night.  Continue to pray for the church, the pastors, and the political situation in Ecuador.  Please pray that our church would have the Lord’s wisdom in knowing how we should be involved in the seminary project at Camp Chacauco.

Partnering in Ministry – Ecuador

David Hardgrave

What a tremendous week of ministry.  Our team saw, first hand, the spiritual darkness of the Ecuadorian culture and the inspiring work the Lord is accomplishing through the faithful pastors in Ecuador.

Ecuador’s religious climate is one of syncretism:  a religious blend of pagan idol worship from long ago and Catholicism.  Most families are raised with the errant theology that Mary, the mother of Jesus, remained sinless her entire life and is the co-redeemer for salvation.  This Catholic theology is centered on man-centered works rather than biblical doctrine.   The Catholic church in Ecuador recognizes that authority is shared by a multi-faced panel composed of Jesus, Catholic tradition, the Pope, and, chief among these – Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Obviously, this is heretical Continue reading

A Divine Appointment in Ecuador

Dr. Shawn Merithew

Once our mission team was on the ground in Ecuador, they learned that some serious political changes had taken place during the last year.  In 2008, Ecuador adopted a new constitution (which happens there about every 8.5 years).  This new constitution is much more socialistic than the previous one.  For all practical purposes, it puts in place a soft dictatorship under Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa.  The majority of seats in the new government Continue reading
