Seventh Anniversary Services


We celebrated the Seventh Anniversary of the beginning of this congregation on February 5, 2012. The morning service was very exciting, and we had a record attendance of over 200. Then on Sunday evening we had another terrific attendance of around 210 with many, many visitors. We are very thankful for all God has done through this church in Manta, Ecuador since 2005.

Visitors from Battlefield Baptist Church



Pastor and Mrs. Karl Skinner and six other members of Battlefield Baptist Church in Gainesville, Virginia were our guests for a week. They did a terrific job of evangelism and outreach in parks, children's homes, our Travesia village ministry, and in all of our Anniversary Weekend activities. They were a great blessing.

Baptisms


Two girls named Domenica were baptized on January 29. We are always happy when people take the step of faith and obedience to follow Jesus' example and make public their testimony through baptism. Also, on February 12 we handed out baptismal certificates to those who had been baptized over the past 12 months. 30 had been baptized, and most of them were present at this Sunday service.
