Moving Mountains and Roadblocks

For such a time as this . . . The Lord has moved mountains for us in that we will not be climbing Sincholagua these next 3 days but heading to the coastal villages affected by the large earthquake that hit Ecuador last night. Instead of splitting up into hiking teams we will now be breaking up into medical, construction, and food & water relief teams. We prayed that the Lord would make a way for us to go despite literal roadblocks on the highways heading to these areas. The way has been opened for us just as we finished a very spirit-filled worship service pleading for God to use us in any way to help the Ecuadorians suffering from the effects of the devastation. We are leaving in less than an hour for an 8-hour bus ride. We don't expect to get much sleep or food in the next 3 days as we set up our basecamp of tents in the village we will be serving. Please pray for us and that the Lord works in mighty ways as we extend His love to our brothers and sisters. Pray for safety and restored peace, especially for the local people, in areas that are now in chaos and destruction.

Next update will be Wednesday. We are going to areas where all communication has been lost.
