Please pray that
God will continue to open doors, and provide

The first generation
of Quichua believers were born in the fires of
persecution. They had a passion for personal
evangelism and church planting. Eighty percent
of the Providence of Chimborazo are
evangelicals. Everywhere they went they gave
their witness for Christ and churches were born.
Today their testimony lives on through the
faithful service of their sons and daughters who
have come to know Christ as their savior in
these thriving evangelical Quichua churches.
Seminary extension class in Yaruqui,
Ecuador.
I recently taught two
seminary courses to these third generation
Peniel Seminary students. I spent one week at
Yaruquí teaching Paul's first letter to the
Corinthians. Everything that was plaguing the
Corinthian church still drastically affects the
modern Quichua church. We spent a good deal of
our time applying Corinthians to the local
church and Paul's answer to these contemporary
problems.
The second week was an overview of the
Historical Books of the Old Testament at Pintag.
These young students are especially tender and
have a deep hunger to know the Word of God

to the Cortinthians.

Testament books in Pintag, Ecuador.
My burden
these days is for the third generation Quichua
church. There are no grandchildren in the kingdom of
God. Each individual must have a personal
relationship with Christ.
This
generation is being pressed in on all sides by
materialism. Great achievements have been made in
education, professional standing in every area of
society.
Individual presentations in the class give
opportunities to develop leadership skills.
It is not unusual to hear a baby cry in the classes
and women study God's Word.
Manual is an exceptionally good student with strong
Biblical theology, and excellent leadership skills.
He is a businessman in Quito and attends our classes
in Yaruquí. He wants to see Peniel Seminary begin
classes in downtown Quito, the capital of Ecuador.

Please pray
for God's provision for Peniel Theological Seminary
and for Wil's courses for these students.
The need for strong Biblical
theology and mature leadership in Quichua churches
has never been greater. Some pastors are attempting
to pastor three or four or five churches at the same
time. Impossible indeed. Abide in Christ has a vital
ministry to the present and future work in Ecuador.
In January 2016, the bord of directors
of Peniel Seminary sensed the Lord leading and
stepped out by faith to purchase property for a
