Construction Continues



Retreat for Women in Ministry


This was the twelfth year for this retreat planned by missionary wives for the wives of pastors and other women involved in the ministry of local churches around Ecuador. This was the best attended of all! It was great to have Sharon Smith as a special speaker. With her husband Jim, she ministers to missionaries and churches through the BBFI Missionary Service Center. They returned to Ecuador, where they had served for 30 years, after a two-year absence.

Jim and Sharon Smith Visit



It was great to have Jim and Sharon Smith visiting our church this weekend. They have been our friends and mentors in ministry, and now serve in the Mission Office of Baptist Bible Fellowship International. Sharon was the speaker at a weekend conference for women and Jim preached in our Sunday Morning service as well as teaching the Men's Bible Study. It is an honor to host them briefly as they return to Ecuador to visit the churches and pastors that are the fruit of their long ministry in this country.

Women's Bible Conference





Sharon Smith from the Baptist Bible Fellowship International, Missionary Service Center in Springfield, MO was the speaker. Sharon and her husband Jim were missionaries in Quito, Ecuador for many years. The theme was "Adopted Princesses." The ladies enjoyed great lessons, refreshments, and fellowship. A simple handcraft is always a big hit too.
