What can I say, it’s been 3 days since we landed in Ecuador.  My mind is still trying to catch up with all that has been going on.  What a wonderful group of people the Heart of Titus group is, so full of Christ’s love.  It astounds me to see the sacrifice and love that they would show to a perfect stranger.  They seem to just have a grasp in the fact that we are all brothers and sisters and Christ, regardless of our earthly citizenship. 

The first day I was here the Lord challenged me by asking me “how much do you love me?”  I felt him prompting me to sacrifice even more.  The first service at Centro, Saturday afternoon was amazing.  There were about 200 people there and we prayed for about 75 people.  God is amazing and he did amazing things that day.  Praise the Lord we were able to be part of 12 new souls coming to the Lord.  There is nothing that can replace seeing a soul snatched from the grasp of satan and rescued from the pit of hell! We also were able to participate in the Lord healing of a little girl from blindness.  Pastor Pat was able to pray over a 5 year old girl who was blind in one eye. Later her mother testified that the Lord had healed her eye!  AMEN.  We serve a real God, a living God. 

Later that night the Lord challenged me to get out of the way and allow him full control of my life.  Part of me had been focused on what the Lord was trying to teach me, but I realized that I needed get my flesh out of the way and allow the Holy Spirit to do his work in the people of Ecuador.  The Lord really showed me that he loves these people.  When I would slow down and look them in the face I could see them with the Love that the Father has for them.  It is always a learning process, but I am learning to allow myself to be opened up and be an empty vessel that the Lord can use to do what HE wants to do, to share the message HE wants to share. 

It has been great to love on the people of Ecuador and to feel the love of the Heart of Titus group.
