Many people we know this year, are talking about refocusing on the REASON for the Season and how to express that in their family celebrations. One gift that we can give that reinforces this is to the gift of GIVING. To give to a worthy cause in honor of someone else is a pretty cool thing. Let’s face it, most of us have everything we WANT and rather than get another gadget to go into the clutter drawer, why not let the gift be something with eternal significance? Pretty cool!
If you are looking for a cause to support as your gift to someone else this year, please be reminded of our passion for the ministry in Ecuador. We are raising money to plant churches, provide children’s ministry curriculum and train ministers.
If you would like to make a gift contribution in honor of someone else, please visit our site (http://my12gifts.org/give-the-gift-of-giving/). You can print a certificate to give to that person explaining the eternal gift that has been given in their name.

The Prims (girls club) from Park West Church in Knoxville, TN sent a list of questions about life on the mission field.
We printed new brochures highlighting the projects we are working on for next year in Ecuador. Please take a look

We only do a print newsletter a couple times per year due to the cost and thankfully so many of our supporters are online. Here is a PDF of the latest one.

Teaching a memory verse game
We took another journey along with 2 SEMISUD students to visit an indigenous church for training children’s ministry workers. This was supposed to be a district-wide training with representatives from 8 different churches. However, we have learned to expect the unexpected and be prepared for anything.
First of all, we arrived and no one was to be seen. A quick phone call revealed that the pastor thought we were coming later in the day. No problem! We took off to a neighboring town that has a famous Catholic church and we played tourist for a little bit.
When we returned to the church, we realized there were only children’s workers from THIS specific church. Another conversation revealed that somehow communication with the other churches didn’t take place. I’ll admit, I was a little frustrated. I mean we had traveled over 1 hour to get there, prepared for a large group with handouts and gifts, etc. What is it the Bible says about this attitude of mine… hmm… not good!
Object lesson about God's tools for winning against sin
So we proceeded with our training session and a funny thing happened. This “small” group was REALLY into what we had to say. You see, for many of them, our previous district trainings had been too far away for them to travel. They were hearing these ideas for the very first time and scooping it up like it was gold!
Once I got mySELF and my attitude behind me, we had an amazing time of God blessing and annointing. These dedicated, young Christians are truly hungry to know how to teach their children. How to help them apply God’s Word to their lives so that they CAN say no to the lives of sin they see modeled all around them.
As it turns out, this intimate time of training was ordained. I KNOW that the few simple things we brought to them, with the power of God behind them will change their whole ministry. They are now inspired and confident as ministers in Christ. I am thankful that God uses us human vessels even though we are often cranky and frustrated when things don’t go the way WE “thought” they should.
PRAY for our ministry
