We live in God's country

It's hard to describe just how beautiful Ecuador is. Here are a few pictures of places that are all within a 2-hour drive from Quito.

National Youth Leadership Congress

The National Youth Leadership Congress was recently held in Santa Domingo, Ecuador, and Stan was asked to give three workshops on personal evangelism. The first picture is a group shot of the participants. The second is of Stan during one of his workshops. No, he isn't advocating that people use a machete to witness! He's using the machete to make a point about using the best tools available.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

We want to thank so many people who are helping us buy a second car which allows Stan to travel to different parts of Ecuador. Also, we want to thank the churches and individuals who have helped us buy our evangelism equipment: tracts, dvd’s with subtitles in Spanish, signs, sound system and inverter to run the sound system with our car battery, and everything else. God bless you richly for your part in this ministry. In this picture several of Stan's students and a fellow professor, Debbie Baker, pose with the truck!

Some New Friends in Christ

Recently our family went to Guayaquil. The entire family went for the first few days and we were able to do a lot of fun things. Then Stan stayed an additional 2 weeks or so teaching a Ministerial Ethics class to local pastors, training pastors and laymen in personal evangelism, and leading several street evangelism teams. Click on the "Evangelism Updates" link to the right to see the entire story and lots of pictures. One of Stan's best moments of the trip was leading a couple to the Lord during a street witnessing event. Here's a picture of Stan with the couple with their son. Please pray for this family as they are babes in Christ.

Stan's Recent Class

Stan recently taught a two-week (3 hours a day) class called "Nazarene Identity." The majority of students were from Colombia. He really enjoyed himself because these students came with a "fire in their belly" which encouraged him a lot. For many, this was their first class so they didn't know all of the details of our doctrine, so Stan felt blessed to educate them and encourage them in their studies.
