Horse parades and painting posts

This week there’s been lots of progress at the campamento – we’ve now made and painted 50 cement posts that will enclose the site. It was a very messy job for some… not so much for Abi!

We have arrived in Guatemala! Thank you so much to everyone for your prayers and donations that enabled us to get here.

Answers to prayer!

We’ve had a really fun week with so much answered prayer! In our last report (here) we asked for prayer over the strikes in the country and for us to stay in good spirits despite being disappointed about our cancelled holiday. Thankfully, the strikes didn’t really reach Santo Domingo, meaning we could still have a … Continued

Progress at the campamento!

Another week in Ecuador has flown by! Writing these weekly reports is a lovely way to reflect on how God has been working in our lives here, and we’re thankful for his daily blessings. We stayed at the campamento at the weekend instead of going back to Santo Domingo, to allow any unrest to settle … Continued

Thunderstorms and Fish Soup

We were welcomed into week two of Ecuador with a thunderstorm and a power cut at the campamento! This led to an impromptu worship session where we praised Jesus with both English and Spanish songs. By Wednesday morning the power was back on and we continued our work attempting to install a water system in … Continued
