God at Work

I've been back from the Peacemaker mission in Ecuador for almost a month and have had the time to process to some degree the things that we saw and experienced. The biggest take-away is how big the Church is and how God is working all over the world.

We met some quality people who have hearts for God and put their faith into action. Pastor Domingo, a former FARC guerrilla, who came to faith in Christ and who has a true pastor's heart. Robin, who heads a Christian school and who is doing a good job training up a new generation of believers. Caesar, who owns and personally runs one of the few Christian radio stations on the Amazon side of Ecuador and who does not hesitate to pay out of his own pocket to get people counseling or other needed services. Pedro and Patricia who keep the school clean and cook for the children. These are just a few of the fine people we met and who touched our lives.

There is a lot of bad news out there, but quietly and under the radar, God's people are doing His work and making the world a better place. It was a privilege to work with them. If you have the chance to take a short term mission trip, grab it. You will be amazed at how you are changed.
