Portoviejo

Starting February 1, I will be assisting a church in the city of Portoviejo as they will be without a pastor. Portoviejo is about 45 minutes from Manta, and is the capital city of the Manabí province. This temporary responsibility will require some extra work, energy, and travel. Please pray with us about this.
This past Saturday, January 24, the church in Portoviejo dedicated a small building, the first stage of a two-stage building project. The congregation is excited to be getting into their own building after waiting eight years. The Ecuadorian pastor who started the church will be returning to his home area of Santo Domingo.
This coming weekend we will be starting two new Bible Study series in the Manta church and expect to have some baptisms as well. We will be celebrating the church's 4th anniversary in a couple of weeks. It will be fun to look back at what has been an eventful and fruitful 4 years of ministry here.
