THIS IS ALL THE MK'S FROM OUR MISSION ENJOYING CARNAVAL IN THE PARK. THE TRADITION IS AN ECUADORIAN HOLIDAY (2 DAYS) OF BALLOON THROWING AND "ESPUMA" WHICH IS A FOAM IN A CAN. ANYONE DURING THESE TWO DAYS "IS GAME" NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE CITY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME. 
Emma, LuLu, AJ, and Ellie feeding a new born calf. Calacali is a property owned by Alliance Academy. It is a farm where any class can go and retreat. Over the years, the classes have planted trees, plants and flowers on the propery. It is such a beautiful place.
Mrs. Bulmer and both 4th grade classes
Michael and I had the pleasure of treating all the house church leaders to a rib dinner at Edwardo's hostal. What a blessing!!! Many of these families had never set down to dinner using a fork and knife only a spoon.
Cynthia was baptized by Michael and Tio Ramon. She is from Atuchucho.
The children of Santa Rosa do not have any toys but they find joy out of playing "marbles"
Dustin and Carcelen church members listening to the people of Santa Rosa.
Marco from the Carcelen Church was a clown and perpormed fun things for the children of Santa Rosa.
Michael and Edwardo put their Landrovers back to back to provide shelter for the Carcelen church as they shared praise music with Santa Rosa.
This old Quichua couple inspired me!!!
Another precious face of a child from Carmon Bajo. She is Quichua.
Michael, Dustin Ignacio and Carlos handing out fundita bags!!!!!
Michael pointed this little girl out to me in the crowd. Her eyes were bluer than his. Isn't she beautiful!!
More faces of the children of Carman Bajo
Quichua women sharing their music to the families of Carman Bajo.
These are some of the many faces of Carman Bajo listening to Tio Ramon share the "Bread of Life" and watching a puppet show as well. 
These are the homes of the people of La Libertad. Crime is really bad in this neighborhood. The first time we found this daycare, that day they had been robbed and everything, food, toys and their only computer was stolen. Donations from Ramon's church were able to replace all that was stolen and from that a weekly Bible study arose with the women workers of the daycare.
Ellie is singing and praising the Lord with the children of La Libertad. We visited and shared the gospel with this daycare the day after Christmas. 
Michael, Tio Ramon, Edwardo, the pastor and the "Father" of the orphanage are praying over the precious lives of the orphans and the orphanage which will be sold soon and they will have to find somewhere else for these children to live.
These four orphans are biological brothers and sisters who are all able to stay at the same orphange. They just touched my heart!!!
These are the orphans eating there breakfast that we prepared on Christmas Eve Day. 
This is one of the local pastors playing and singing with the orphans.
This five member family from San Jacinto came without mom and dad to hear the message of the "Bread of Life" and recieve their photo and "fundita". We have absolutely no idea where their parents are or if they even have any who care!!!!! We sure are blessed!!!
These are some of the children of San Jacinto where the medical clinic will be held in March
Tio Ramon and translater, Edwardo, sharing the "Bread of Life" with the parents of the children in the Atuchucho day care.
This is a day care where we were able to take photos and give out candy bags for Chrismas
The neat thing is that there are three sets of biological brother and sister families that were not seperated 
We recently visited a Christian orphanage where the orphans make brooms and quimbolitos (sweet corn bread) to support themselves and their fellow "brothers and sisters" in the orphanage. Tio Raymon and his church have been supporting this orphange for the last several years.
This is another daycare that was erected from the house church that is in the same building as the daycare. Tio Raymon and Edwardo are sharing children's Bible stories to the children!
This is the view from the window of the daycare that we visited. Many children walk the streets in this neighborhood with no where to go .
Mary and Jerry recently came to Ecuador as volunteer missionaries. Tio Raymon was their leader representing those back home who donated so much to the poor in Ecuador. Mary and Jerry have been to many places of the world doing God's work. I believe this is Tio Raymon's 5th year doing mission work in Ecuador. This daycare had just been robbed the night before where all the food, toys and computers were taken. We showed up to bless them without having known of their misfortune the night before. God is so good and is always before us. We were able to replace all that was stolen that very day!!! Needless to say, these women want to know our God!!!! We now have a Bible study at this daycare for the workers.
