Dear Prayer Warriors,
"So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."

The Lord is Leading Us to Loja, Ecuador
The
province of Loja on the southern border of Ecuador is one of the least
reached areas in Ecuador for the Gospel. 70,000 people live in the
western 9 counties, four have a small church starting, and five have no
evangelical witness that OMS has been able to find.
We continue to make preparations for our return to the field as God has confirmed His direction for us to serve as church planters in this remote area of southern Ecuador. We will be serving with other OMS-Ecuador missionaries as a part of a new project called "Loja Challenge 2015". We will be sharing more about this project in future updates, but for now you can read more by clicking here: "Loja Challenge 2015", or search for “Loja Challenge 2015” on Facebook.
Please begin to pray as we prepare for our return to living and serving in Ecuador. As we prepare for our departure back to the field in August, we have quite a bit to accomplish. Once again, we have a house to sell, belongings to disperse, and additional funds to raise. Prior to our actual arrival in Ecuador, we will first be returning to Costa Rica where we will attend language school to increase our Spanish language skills that have diminished over the last 3 1/2 years.
We would love any opportunity to share about what God is doing in Ecuador and how you can be a part of it. We are in need of additional ministry supporters and would love to welcome you to our team with your prayers, finances, and short term mission opportunities for you and your church.

We
are six weeks into our "Perspectives" seminary class and it has been
amazing! It's really opened our eyes to our one and only purpose and
that it to bring God glory. We are learning so much about God's mission
for the world, His heart for people and how much He loves them. It's
also been a huge confirmation of the call that God has put on our life.
Wedding Bells are Ringing March 22, 2014
