We love Huaticocha!

We´ve had a great couple of days in the jungle! We love it here. We´re having a great time getting to know the students and staff. Their hospitality is muy bien! The prayer and worship time has been very powerful... being able to praise God in different languages together... God´s presence is SO evident here! We´ve had opportunities to share testimonies and have heard testimonies from the students as well.  We are getting ready to head out for our second day of VBS. We were in AWE of the opportunity God gave us yesterday to minister in Arapino... an hour drive deeper into the jungle... fording a few small rivers! The people were eager to hear about Jesus and were very engaged, both adults and children alike! While we were there a very strong storm hit and dumped a lot of rain. We were told that the rivers rose RIGHT AFTER we crossed them. Praise God for his protection! Our mornings have been spent painting the dining hall and buildng a bus stop shelter.... We had to hike deeper into the jungle to get the materials, which was quite an adventure that everyone loved. The staff here continue to provide us with amazing food, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and warm hospitality. The weather had been great. We are very blessed! Everyone on our team is healthy and happy. :-)  Thank you for your continued love and prayers. They ARE making a difference!

  1. Crazy cool about Arapino! There is nothing quite like a hike through the jungles of Ecuador ... LOVE it and wish I was there! God loves Ecuador and His people and I'm so happy more of Daybreak is falling in love with Huaticocha and all things Ecuador:) God is providing, protecting, and using you all to make a difference, as only He can do!
