Evangelism and discipleship are the heart of Jesus' Great Commission to the Church.

Years ago someone wrote: "A missionary is God's man, in God's place, doing God's work, God's way, for God's glory alone."

The Holy Spirit has an amazing way of putting us right where He wants us to witness to a lost person the saving gospel of Christ.

I watched God do something this week in an area where there are no evangelical churches of any variety. No Gospel witness. None. God led three men from the United States and three Ecuadorians to the place where He was at work, and we watched Him take each one of us and bear witness to God's saving grace.

Fifty-nine individuals put their faith in Jesus Christ. Of the 59, 22 were Quichuas who responded to our personal witness as we conducted a dental clinic. Dr. John Howell saw 45 patients and extracted 42 teeth on a Sunday afternoon. Twenty-two responded to the Roman road and believed on Christ as their savior. During the week we saw 73 dental patients and extracted 50 teeth.

Monday through Thursday we worked with the Shuar people in eastern Ecuadorian jungle at Chivias and Kintia Panki. We went door to door sharing Christ. Our goal was to find out where God was at work so our Quichua pastor Alexandro could start a new Shuar mission. During the week 33 individuals came to Christ. Among those who believed on Christ were six high school students who came across the river going to school and Alejandro witnessed to them. Also, John and Don waded across a river to an island where six university students were building a camp fire. They too, trusted Christ as their Savior.

One the way back to Riobamba we stopped along the side of the highway and led four Ecuadorian construction workers to Christ. Alejandro is making weekly trips back to Sucua and following up on these new believes. This is a vision God has given him to reach unreached areas of Ecuador.
