MANANTIAL MINISTRIES

Please keep Libio in your prayers as he just came back from ministering in the village of Gualpi, working with the Samaritan's Purse outreach in the surrounding communities. He will be traveling back to the Huaroni villages in the jungle in the middle of this month to share the word and touch base with the Christian leaders there. Please pray for open doors and safety!

Now that the church family is meeting under the church roof, they have started to work and save up for the cement blocks to build the walls! Slowly but surely, as God provides, they buy more blocks and store them under the roof, until they have what is needed to build the walls! This community, guided by Luis Ivan and Edilma, whom we left over them as church leaders, has a very great sense of ownership, which is always something that can be difficult on the mission field. So

Pastor Josue and his wife continue to reach out to the native villages and communities around Arichidona, Tena, ArosemanaTola, etc, visiting and sharing the word! Please continue to keep them in your prayers always, for God's provision and continued faithfulness as they preach the word and at times face demonic oppression. Satan does not want to give up his control over these lost souls, but God has won the victory!

The church continues to grow! The new pastors have been living in the town for several months, and the church is now renting another location right in the center of the town! Please continue to pray as God brings up several of the youth to assist with music, singing, and other ministry opportunities!

The Hispanic church that we are a part of in Ecuador and Peru, also has churches planted here in the US, in areas that have a large Spanish-speaking population. We were able to visit and share at one of these on the outskirts of Nashville today, before heading back home from the CAS State finals the kids participated in this week. It was a blessing to share with them and worship in Spanish again!

Please keep Libio in your prayers, as he continues to minister to the Chachi tribe on the coast of Ecuador. HE sent a few pictures I wanted to share, of a small youth camp they held in the village of Capuli, close to where the water project was built. Since he is often traveling, he also holds training/catch-up sessions in the evening with the Christian leaders who are overseeing the church plant and the ministry work they do in the surrounding area and communities.

Libio spent the last week travelling down the Curraray River, visiting communities of the Quichua tribe. Several of the students from the bible seminary accompanied him, navigating the canoe, translating into the native language, and helping out as they ministered to adults and children alike! Please keep them in your prayers, as Libio continues to spend half his time on the coast, with those tribal communities, and half in the jungle communities.

Wanted to share this picture of a young girl, who is attending the church plant in Archidona with PS Josue and his wife, Jennifer. They are doing an amazing job teaching the children, who then share what they have learned in front of the church! Please continue to keep them in your prayers!
