It’s been a little over a week since we’ve been here in Ecuador. Praise the Lord. It’s a true miracle we’re here in a Covid world. We took many covid tests to make sure we were safe and taking all the precautions.
Today i got asked how you’ve seen the Lord move you. And this was the first thing that came to mind. We got to El Refugio Wednesday morning and we were blown away by how beautiful it was here. We started ministry right away and some of my teammates and I worked on a dirt road on the side of the Mountain. It was a beautiful sight to see, expect it got very hot and I was so tired of shoving back and forth. And that’s when i was reminded of the Fruits of the Spirt. Patience. There were so many times where I was just so frustrated with myself thinking I wasn’t strong enough to do this, or it was never going to get done. The mountain was sooo long. And that’s when I remembered patience and remembered that is helping others. That the place we’re staying at is so thankful for us. As I was shoveling instead of letting the enemy get to me I really pressed into the Lord. I started prayed while shoving. Asking for patience and strength. That the Lord would push me and power me through til the end. My teammates Vivian and Emily helped me right after seeing me struggle and made my mood go from frustrated and angry. To dancing and shoveling. Soon after I see that we’re almost done! Praise the Lord. Today we finished the road. And not to brag but to brag my teammates and I did an AMAZING job.
One thing the Lord has also taught me is that He for sure wants me here in Ecuador. Im sure y’all know im fundraising. And I always hear lies of the Enemy of him saying I don’t belong here, or I won’t raise the money. Expect the Lord said that’s a LIE. In maybe four days we’ve raised around 2,000$. And i’m 3,000 away from being fully funded. It’s just taught me that this is the community that the Lord wants me to be around. That Ecuador is where my heart needs to be. And that the money will be provided in His timing not mine.
If your reading this please pray for my team and squad who are here in Ecuador and pray we can continue doing the Lords work! Please pray I as well reach my fundraising goal.
love you guys,
