Week 4
Some of the highlights of this weekÂ
This week was our first week of going to each of our ministry sites and actually working with the children there. It went really well and between the three sites we had approximately 160 kids. At each site we played games, told a story about being heroes of the faith, did a craft and gave out a snack.
On Saturday all of us here at CBC volunteered to help with kids in wheel chairs that were to attend a program called Festininos. This was the childrenÂs portion of the Franklin Graham Crusade that was going on in Quito all weekend. In the end, only one child in a wheelchair came but there were 60,000 other children there.
This weekend in the main weekend of La Merced Days. This is an annual festival that take place in the little town where we live. This is a combo of a fair/carnival/block party including food, rides, music and much more.
Prayer: We are getting out of the honeymoon period and are transitioning into getting used to living here in Ecuador. Continued prayer health - one of the students, Reid, has been not feeling right for a while so he has been having some tests done to figure out what is going on (so far eveything has come back normal, which is great!).
Photos (from top to bottom): Caroline sitting with kids and Trevor playing soccer at Las Palmeras, one of our weekly ministry sites (there will be photos of all of the sites over the next few weeks), some of our girlplayingng handclap games with children that they met at Festininos, thousands of children going down for the alter-call at the end of the program, a groups of our students (Kylene, Holly, Natalie, Anna, and Michael) ready to go into the festival, the festival was held in the national soccer stadium and children filled all of the stands and the overflow were sitting on the field, our whole group, we had one child in a wheelchair show up and a group of our students went to sit with her family (Kylene is there sitting next to the little girl), and La Merced Days dancers and Ferris Wheel
