Dear Prayer Warriors,
¡MI CASA ES SU CASA! (My House is your House)
We understand this phrase all to well as the month of October was filled with guests, guests, & more guests. It's been a wonderful opportunity to meet all kinds of people doing what God is calling them to do. From medical doctors, to former missionaries, to rock stars, we've had quite a variety of guests serving the Lord. An OMS medical team that recently stayed with us, treated over 700 people in four days, with 302 of them making a decision for Christ. The OMS guest house is available to those doing ministry for the Lord here in Ecuador. We can house up to 24 people. If your group has a desire to minister in the Quito area of Ecuador, please know that our doors are open to you.
Cindy and the boys have completed their first quarter of the school year. David is having a great time playing varsity soccer (3 games a week is a little much). He's also a Sparky leader for AWANA once a week. Jonathan has received some help with his workload. He has had to sacrifice his Spanish class in order to get a guided study hall, but it has helped in the amount of homework that he is bringing home and he continues to use his Spanish daily. Thank you for your prayers concerning our boys.
Cindy's Bible study is meeting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. She continues to lead 5 ladies through the book of Acts. She is also providing a good deal of mentoring with women at school. Please pray for Cindy as she leads these women in God's Word and His Ways. Thank you for rejoicing with her for the 11 students in her class that accepted Christ last week. The chapel story was a blessed time. Seeds were planted and we pray that God's Word will not return void. Parent/Teacher conferences will be on November 9th. Please pray for her, as she desires to minister to the parents as well as to the children.
Doug will leave on Tuesday morning, traveling over a large portion of southern Ecuador, including Cuenca, Saraguro, Yantzaza, and Loja, returning on Sunday. He will be meeting as a part of the OMS Ecuador Field Committee at Camp Pallatanga, and they are still dealing with a situation regarding one of our church associations and one of the churches in Guayaquil. Please pray for a peaceful and mutually agreed settlement to some long standing issues with a church association. Afterwards, he and some of the other committee members will travel further south to meet with the ACIS church association (Association of Indigenous Saraguro Christians) to discuss the use of property located in Carboncillo. Pray for good discussion and the future use of this important property. Also, please pray for safe traveling mercies for Doug and the other committee members.
Our OMS Quito Team continues to get smaller. The Williamsons have left the Quito area to work 6 hours south in Pallatanga where the OMS camp is located. Please pray for BJ, Andi, and Eli as they adjust to living at the Camp where there is a great deal of work needed to be completed.
We are very excited about having Doug's sister Lynn and her family join us for Thanksgiving this year. Please pray for them while they are here. The altitude, food and germs have a way of affecting people in the most unpleasant ways. We only have 5 days with them, so pray for our time together to be blessed.
Blessings to You!
