Ecuador Partnership

When we started in 2011, there was no evangelical church in the area, and the evangelical population was estimated to be less than 2%. Throughout our ministry, we’ve seen God bring together a team—made up of both local believers and our team—to establish a church that is now growing, actively reaching its community, and pursuing church planting efforts in nearby regions. This church, “Blessing and Life Evangelical Christian Church of Sigchos,” is affiliated with the local Baptist Association and the Ecuador Baptist Convention.

Upcoming Trips

October 4-12

Chone, Ecuador. This trip will be led by Bronson Morgan, our IMB missionary. I will be helping stateside with arrangements. Bronson will be doing the preparatory work via video call. Amy Roberts and her family from Waverly First Baptist will be going at this point. Several others have expressed interest, but these are only firm commitments so far. I do not know flight arrangements. Sign up by September 2 so we can get everything processed, the training completed, and the tickets purchased before it gets too close and the price goes up.

October 14-21

Sigchos, Ecuador. I will be leading this trip. The plan would be to fly out of Nashville (BNA) early on the 14th. We'd arrive in Quito the evening of the 14th, stay overnight, then head to Sigchos on Wednesday the 15th. We would leave Sigchos on Monday the 20th, and take the late-night flight (11:50 pm), returning to Nashville around 8:20 am on Tuesday the 21st. Right now, the plan is Delta through Atlanta both ways. Sign up by September 8.

November 11-18

Chone, Ecuador. Again, I will be leading his trip. The plan would be to fly out of Nashville (BNA) early on the 11th. We'd arrive in Quito the evening of the 11th, stay overnight, then head to Chone on Wednesday the 12th. We would leave Chone for Quito on Monday, the 17th, and take the late-night flight (11:50 pm), returning to Nashville around 8:20 am on Tuesday, the 18th. Again, as of right now, the plan is Delta through Atlanta both ways. This trip is currently planned to focus on areas outside Chone with new church plants and home churches. Sign up by October 9.
