Third Report From Paul, Emily & Tony in Ecuador

It is about 1:30 in the morning and we are packing to leave here at about 8 a.m. to start our trip home.There is so much to tell about our trip, we don't have time to write it all down now. But let me tell you just 2 stories that happened tonight:

1. We were praying in the taxi on the way to the 6 p.m. service. Paul will have to tell you how the Lord showed him that He wanted a good harvest of souls tonight but He did. I got up to preach but as usual I had Emily and Paul get up to give greetings. There was about 150-200 people. After Paul's greeting he handed me the microphone, and I just felt from the Lord that Paul needed to give an altar call for salvation. Because we had limited time, I gave him back the mike and told him "You have 5-6 minutes to give an altar call, and then give the mike back." So he did and very quickly too, and within just a few minutes Paul was praying with at least 15 people to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior! It was incredible watching them stream out of their seats.

2. I then shared a word and because of the shortage of time did not give an altar call, but we did go spread out and pray for the people near their seats. After the service people started to come up to us and we started to pray for them. A man with a bandage on his elbow came up to me and asked for prayer. I prayed, not much happened. He was in a lot of pain because of his arm. One of our team members, Dr. Freddy, was nearby so I asked him to help me pray. Freddy looked at the guy's arm and said it was broken. He could hardly move it and you could see the pain on his face. After Freddy uttered a quick prayer the guy said the pain left. He gingerly started moving his arm and then more forcefully. With an incredulous look on his face he began to realize that his arm was healed. He finally looked like he was in shock when it settled in that the Lord had fixed the break and taken all the pain away. How awesome is our God!

That's all we have time for now. Check us out at www.facebook.com/heartoftitus to see some more photos.

Going Back!

This has been a long 2 years. It has been difficult to wait ... but now the time has arrived - Emily and I are going back to Ecuador!

It was a difficult decision to put the brakes on my travels 2 years ago. Anyone who knows me knows how excited I get about these trips. I had fallen in love with the city of Guayaquil and our friends there. It and they are incredible. You will never meet a group of people who are so giving, so loving, and so generous with their time and resources.

It's hard not to like these people. They work hard for those they serve, believing that they are serving the Lord by doing so. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." [Matt.25:40]

Apparently my love for the people and for the country of Ecuador is nothing compared to the great love God has for them. We all know love is proved by her actions and God proves His love for them continually there. What a privilege it has been to see what God does for those He loves! We have seen countless supernatural healings and visitations of all sorts. We have seen Him rescue so many from so much ... it just thrills my heart.

Faith can be a very fragile thing. I for one need a lot of encouragement to keep believing that God not only exists but "that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." [Heb.11:6 NIV]. These trips have built my faith so much, and the faith of many others.

So I have the privilege of going to Ecuador tomorrow with a great expectation in my heart. I really believe I am going to see what I have seen before: God pouring out His love on His children with miracles of healing, encouragement, restoration, reconciliation and best of all, reconciliation with Him.

I can't wait to share these stories with you. God willing I'll be able to report some from down there as they happen. Check us out at www.facebook.com/heartoftitus - I'll be posting there.

God bless you, thank you for praying for Emily, Paul Madison, myself and all of our Ecuadorian friends.

Vacation is Over, Tony & Emily Return to Ecuador

Vacation is now officially over, Tony & Emily are returning to Ecuador after a 2 year hiatus from the mission field. Paul Madison will be joining them on the trip which will be from February 22 to March 1.


	Tony & Emily, Pastors Maria & Roberto Rios, and Gardenia & Fernando Ubilla, in Santo Domingo, Ecuador, in September 2007.

While there they will be ministering in churches and meetings in Guayaquil, the largest city in this country on the west coast of South America. They may also visit other cities such as Vinces, where the Ecuador Heart of Titus team helped to plant a church in the last 2 years which now has over 400 members.

This is a hot and rainy time of year in Guayaquil, which is close to the Equator.
