Ministry Story: Quevedo

 

The humidity was thick but the joy was palpable as we walked through the doors of the Quevedo church.

The building that houses the Quevedo Church!

Quevedo is one of the most important agricultural centers of Ecuador and is the geographical point where all major roads in the region (including the Pan-American highway) intersect. The area surrounding Quevedo mainly produce bananas, corn, rice, and soybeans. The soils in the region generate excellent harvests year-round. Many banana producers complement their banana plantations with fields that produce corn, soy and rice during the rainy season.

We had the privilege of traveling with Brother Patricio and Sister Irma (The President and First Lady of the National Committee of the Church of God in Ecuador) to encourage the believers in Quevedo.

The church in Quevedo if full of friendly faces and dedicated believers. They are firmly planted in the thriving agriculture community. They are a light in a dark place as well. We could not help but notice a large number of brothels and night clubs in the area.

What a wonderful group of believers!

 

Please pray for our brothers and sisters as they shine the light in the darkness and witness for Christ.
