Mission
Ecuador is a country of 13 million, 98% of the people are catholic and in the indigenous population, catholicism is mixed with animism. This is a country where most of the children and adults have religion, but do not understand what it is to have a relationship with jesus christ. Our desire is to reach and teach the children and their families about christ so that they will accept him as savior, grow in him and lead their own people to christ. We believe the children are the future leaders of this beautiful country
