Dear Brethren

Answered Prayers:

It is very evident that the Lord is blessing the work here in Ecuador.Our prayer is that we respond to His leadership according to His Will.Let me bring you up to date on the work.Sufficient has been the manifestation that 

Our prayers for an Ecuadorian Mission Helper are being answered.

Bro. Galo Tejado, an Ecuadorian minister is now a part of our mission team.

Bro. Galo and his family have been praying for the Lord to lead them to where they could work with a Scriptural New Testament Church. They believe, as do we, that their prayers are being answered through our ministry and the Westwood Missionary Baptist Church. Such has been the manifestation that Lord is leading and opening these doors, that we have already provisionally included him and his family in our Latin American Ministries Team.Of course it is wise to be prudent, giving time for the Lord to show us the way that He is directing.So, while we are moving ahead rapidly, we are never-the-less, constantly making ourselves available to His Leadership.
Bro. Galo is well prepared but submissive.
While Bro. Galo is well prepared for the work,he is willing to serve.However, that which is outstanding and important, is hissubmissiveness to the Lord.(NOTE: I am reminded of Apolo). We will baptize him, (although all indications are that his baptism is scriptural but utilizing prudence, it is sometimes better to be safe than later sorry) as well as teach him more perfectly in the ways of the Lord and His Church.After his baptism, we will then ordain him
Not only is Bro. Galo a prepared worker, he is also a very able Bible teacher, experienced Pastor and Missionary.
With plans to put a complete, Bible based Seminary and Institute, we believe that this brother will prove to be a great asset to the Lord’s work as well as our Latin American Ministries outreach.


Sis. Rosa Tejado is a qualified pre-school teacher and is licensed by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education.

vPart of the mission work that we want to accomplish is a Christian School.One that will provide a solid Christian education to the Ecuadorian people as well as help in our evangelistic outreach.
Also, Sis. Rosa’s teaching ability will provide the mission with trained Sunday School teacher’s, something that a new mission work lacks and usually suffers from as a result.
Please continue to pray for the work and share with us as the Lord leads.Your participation is very needed and important.We want to thank you for all that you are doing do help us in this ministry to the Latin Americans.May the Lord richly bless you.Happy Easter.
Love
