Regular Update

Hey, I just thought I'd give you a small update to how work is going here in Cuenca now that my time is running short. I am still leading the small youth group here in Totoracocha but will begin training this week with a possible leader for them! That is a huge praise...a huge answer to prayer. My hope is to gradually hand over responsibility for the next three weeks and then that she can lead the last two meetings of May by herself while I am traveling around Ecuador. Then I can hopefully come back and observe my last three weeks in June and just offer guidance and further training. So please be in prayer for this future leader and that she will be open to the Spirit's leading in her life.

Also, the house church I have been working with for the whole time I've been here had a couple of rough months where the church was really struggling. But now it seems as if the church is back on track. We have discipleship meetings every Monday, I disciple the church leaders every Thursday, and they have their church meeting Friday nights and it seems like the momentum is back behind this church and that the members are eager and ready to hear God's word and grow. It is a great blessing to see this church start to take back off so please be in prayer that the leaders be encouraged by their church and by us, the other leaders.

Thanks for all your prayers and support. It has been a crazy time here in Ecuador and I can't believe that I only have 2 months left!
