Ecuador Update by Nathan

My parents, Roger and Jamie, boarded a plane bound for Ecuador this past Saturday. From Monday till the upcoming Monday they will primarily spend their time in one village--a village they visited on a previous trip. During their time in this village they will have to approach the president of this particular village requesting to stay their along with having the opportunity to live among the people for teaching and fellowship. Their prayerful hope is to spend this time among the Quichua teaching the gospel. According to a conversation my mom overheard there is no church and no current gospel influence among the Quichua in this village. Here is a recent update that I just received:

Being loved: What does your body do for you? What do you do for your body? by Jordan

While we coast through life, our physical body serves us incessantly. Ligaments holding bones in place, veins transporting blood to each part, bones keeping structure supported, lungs receiving and discharging oxygen and carbon dioxide.

We're Back by Jordan

The blog has been a bit slow lately due to our Pastor's Pray & Plan retreat, Treasuring Christ Together Church Planting Network meetings in North Carolina, and a great anniversary get-away with my bride :).

Just wanted to put something up here so the world wouldn't think the pastor's retreat was in Hawaii!

Taking a Break For You by Jordan

Once again the elders will be taking a few days together to seek the Lord and His direction for Grace Church. Please pray for us this weekend!

One brave elder will remain home to preach Sunday (We're all praying for you Rick! And we're eager to hear your sermon once it's posted).

May the Lord be pleased to sqeeze out of each moment the maximum eternal profit! Thank you for your prayers. We'll be praying for you as well.

Work Through Books Together | Maximizing Profit Through Community-Based Development by Jordan

Many have found the profit of reading books in community. Not necessarily reading the book aloud together, but discussing and processing what you have read with others who are reading the same material.

Such investment will round your apprehension and develop your ability to articulate and apply the good of what you've read...
