Friends, it's that time of year! We are beginning our search for the perfect gifts for the precious children living in the Esmeraldas province. We hope to bless several communities this year and we need your help! We are estimating there are 550 children that will participate in the Christmas programs this year and we hope to provide the following gifts to each child:
1) New shirt, shorts, shoes and undergarments!
2) A Blessing Bag for the Child's Family! There are many things most of us take for granted, however, for these families...they are luxuries. We would love to provide a Blessing Bag filled with soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper, rice and oil.
3) A bag of sweet treats! (Ecuadorian tradition) 4) A meal served at the church!
**All of these gifts are purchased IN ECUADOR, which is an incredible blessing and helps stimulate the local economy!**
The cost for all of this for each child is only $20! Will you consider sponsoring one of these precious children this Christmas?
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for investing in these children who we love so dearly!
Remember that ALL donations are 100% tax deductible!
We love you all!

FEEDING THOSE WHO ARE HUNGRY
Dear Friends - We are all living in trying times, but God is always faithful!
It is surreal to attempt to understand the magnitude of what is happening on every continent, in every country, in every city. It is truly too much to fathom...But God...He is still faithful!
Here in Ecuador, we have been on lock down since March 13th. A few days later, all non-essential businesses were ordered to close. The entire country is trying to simply survive. We are trying to be the hands and feet of Christ by providing support and food for our immediate neighbors and the communities of Rocafuerte and Esmeraldas. Most of the Ecuadorian population relies on daily income from parking cars, washing windows, selling fruits/veggies on the streets etc. and many are struggling in incredible ways. While we are doing all we can to help, our funds are running low as these extra expenses were not included in our annual budget.
We are estimating a cost of around $15 each week to feed a family of four. Obviously, they are not eating filet mignon. We are trying to provide them with the most nutritious meals as possible, while maintaining a very strict budget. We have provided milk, oil, tuna, sardines, rice, pasta, lentils, sugar, salt, oatmeal, juice, toothpaste and soap, but we hope to also provide fresh fruits, meats, veggies when available. Thankfully, fruits and veggies are rather inexpensive here.
We understand that each of you are struggling with losing jobs, pay cuts etc. and ask that you make sure your family is fed first. If you find that you have extra income and you are in the financial position to help, we would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your partnership! May you be blessed with abundance!
$15 per week or $60 Month will provide food for a family of 4. Would you consider partnering with us to bless these precious families?

FOUNDATION RURASHUN - SPORTS MINISTRY
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to support our precious friend, Jonathan, the President and Founder of the Rurashun Foundation. He will be running 1000km over 10 days beginning in Manta, Ecuador. He has dreamed for years about starting this foundation to help under privileged children and families in Ecuador.
It is now a reality!
He trains leaders in various communities how to teach sports and discipleship programs to children who are growing up like he did. He never knew his father. His mother passed away when he was 15 years old. By the grace of God, he was 'adopted' by Teen Missions, an organization who discipled him and loved him through his teenage years. Most children who are orphaned end up on the streets and involved in drugs and gangs.
He launched a pilot program in Cayambe, Ecuador and it has had much success. His goal is to open 30 training centers over the next year. We are excited to welcome this program into Rocafuerte and Esmeraldas within the coming months!
Jonathan's goal is to raise $50,000 to launch this program in 30 locations. The funds will be used to purchase the needed equipment, pay coaches and support the children in the program.
On November 14th he will begin running to raise awareness of this program!
