An Ecuadorian Mission Experience

We will embark on our adventure to Ecuador on June 6th, and we will return on June 16. We have a very dynamic team of 18 (6 adults and 12 youth). 15 are from St. John's and 3 youth are from 3 other parishes in the Diocese. Here is our team:

Rob Bowers
Bryana Close
Dorian Del Priore
Lauren Del Priore
Eileen Schell
Gordon Shell

Sarah Axson
Alex Bowers

Katie Clarkson
Winston Collins
Taylor Jackson
Meredith Nix
Beaumont Smith
Lawson Smith
Kayla Massey
Austin Ryan
Grayson Vazquez

This is a phenomenal team of servant leaders with great experience in youth ministry and mission settings. We are excited about what our team will be experiencing this summer in Ecuador. We will be traveling to Quito, Ecuador to partner with Youth World again, and we will be working at two main sites: Emaus and Riobamba. Emaus is a church in Quito that is Episcopal/Anglican in tradition. Riobamba is a community further up in the highlands, and they are indigenous Quechua Indian, and they are subsistence farmers who live off the land.

Please pray for our team and the communities that we are serving and partnering with. Pray for safe travel. Pray that we will receive all the financial and prayer support that we need. Please consider partnering with us in our experience, both financially and prayerfully. God willing, if we have access to the appropriate technology while in Ecuador, you will be able to follow our daily adventures here while we are in Ecuador. Check back and see! Thanks!
