Chimborazo Pastors and Wives' Conference provided for Peniel Theological Seminary by Abide in Christ, Riobamba, Ecuador August 2011

High in the wind-swept snow-capped Andes mountains of Ecuador, Abide in Christ presents evangelism conferences teaching personal evangelism to Quechua pastors and leaders.

The town of Laguna San Martin sits 11,200 feet above sea level across from Mt. Altar with its eternal snow glistening in the sun. The Land of Canaan Evangelical Church has a vibrant witness in this community. Wil taught Evangelism Workshops here, and three Christians from the U. S. went door to door sharing Christ with leaders from the church. In two days there were fifty decisions for Christ. In Santa Anna, at 11,700 feet, where there is no work, another 29 people made decisions for Christ. We distributed over 250 New Testaments in these two locations.

In the evening services, nine Quechua choirs sang Christian songs in their beautiful language. You could hear a pin drop in each of the services as they listened intently to the exposition of the book of Galatians. Numerous times they interrupted with applause as they expressed agreement and appreciation.
