Small group activity studying the Poetic Books of the Old Testament in Guayaquil.

I have watched God lay His hand on young Quichua men and put in them a burning passion in their hearts to do the will of God. They have followed the leading of the Holy Spirit with a growing commitment to that calling.

Some of Saturday students at Peniel Seminary in Riobamba, Ecuador under the direction of Alberto Copa.

One of those students is Alejandro who graduated last year. I have observed him and his family with keen interest over the past five years. He has faithfully served Christ over the past twenty years. He studied at the Colta Bible Institute, and in time wanted more Bible education and enrolled in Peniel Theological Seminary. He now serves on the Board of Directors of the seminary, pastors a church that began in his home several years ago. He also has a passion to see a Shuar church in the jungle revitalized. He is God's chosen instrument.

Jose Guznay is another chosen instrument who teaches pastoral ministries at Peniel. He and his wife and a daughter graduated from the Hebron Theological Seminary in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. His daughter Gloria teaches New Testament Greek and works with youth in Guayaquil. Jose pastors a Quichua church in the eastern jungle of Ecuador. There is a large jungle Quechua speaking church in Sarayacu or the modern name of Carlos Arosemena.

Women's choir with Alejandro, Jose and Wil at the Abide in Christ Sarayacu Bible Conference on Salvation.

Wil taught an evangelism workshop three years ago at a Quichua bilingual church in Carlos Arosemena also known in the area by Quichuas as Sarayacu. He returned to speak on the doctrine of salvation at a Bible conference in the church. This week long conference drew God's chosen leaders from neighboring communities.

Women's choir at Jesus el Buen Pastor in Guayaquil prepare for a mission trip to Colombian border.
