We just found out our placements for our first stop on the World Race!!!! 🙂
First stop: Ecuador
Ministry: Mano y Mano/Hand in Hand
I am so EXCITED for our teams ministry placement because we will be working with children (ages 5-14) in an after school program! This really touches my heart because I love teaching and I just graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education! I will be able to use the skills I have learned throughout my education to help these children in need.
I am so excited that I get to be a part of their learning and growing! 🙂God's timing is so perfect and I cannot wait to see what he has planned
for this ministry in Ecuador through the help of our team!
"Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
-Matthew 28:19-20
*This ministry is in the village of El Tingo, around 20km from the capital Quito.*It provides after school education support for local children livng in this very poor region of Ecuador.
*There are 50 students at this minsirty from ages 5-14.
*El Tingo is one of many villages severely hit when the Ecuadorian economy collapsed in the late 1990's. Since then many community support projects have been forced to close and many of the local families are in situations of severe poverty.
La Fuente currently provides educational support, a hot meal and other activities to around 50 children in need living in El Tingo.
