Serving Those in Need

Our church has been very active since the earthquake in getting food, water, clothing, and other needs to those who are suffering in Manta. We are cooperating with local and international missions organizations to put God's love in action around us. Please help with your prayers and with generous donations as God provides you with funds and directs your heart. Thank you!

Post-earthquake Praise and Prayer Service

Since our church building was damaged in the earthquake, we met outside on the front porch of the church with some extra improvised shade. The emphasis was praise and prayer. A group of well over 120 people participated in a time of worship that moved our hearts. Service is our church DNA so we are already mobilized to provide assistance and care to those around us who need it. So far we learned that 15 church families have been forced to abandon their homes because they are totally or partially destroyed and deemed unsafe. Pray for those who are in need and for those who serve. Remember that you can help by donating through Baptist Bible Fellowship International either online or by mail (PO Box 191 Springfield, MO 65801 or bbfimissions.com). Contact us if you need more information.

Youth Camp and Women's Retreat

Youth and youth ministry leaders worked hard in the weeks before camp to raise money and to be prepared for a great week at camp. They attended a camp organized by a group of churches in another region of Ecuador who were kind enough to invite our church. It was held at Campamento  Bautista El Prado near Santo Domingo. The young people from Manta had a great time! They grew in faith and unity. When they returned, they were so excited that they organized a two-day youth retreat at our church with even more young people participating. God is at work in IBB Manta's youth ministry.

Women from IBB Manta were invited to a women's retreat at Campamento Cristiano Emaús. 10 women from the church attended the three-day event. They were blessed by the fellowship and outstanding conference speakers. Their report included encouraging the church's women's ministry to invite the speakers for a conference at the church in the future. We are grateful to Iglesias Bautista Rey de Vida for inviting our church to participate in camps and retreats.

Prayer Report March 2016

This month's prayer report features a lot of information about one of our Love in Action ministries, the food pantry. We call it Bendecidos para Bendecir, (Blessed to Bless) because God's blessings in our lives are for the purpose of blessing others.

La Revancha Mission First Sunday Service

The first Sunday service for the mission in La Revancha was February 14. There were kids in the Sunday School class and a group of 22 for the worship and preaching. We're thankful for the team who is serving, and for the faith that tells us God is going to put a great group of people together there.
