We had our first men’s retreat recently. Twenty-one men spent time
together and fellowshipped, fished and learned about God’s Word. Jaime
is a young man who is part of our church, faithful in attending Sunday
service, part of a house group and also part of the literacy class.
Since he made the decision to give His life to the Lord and was
baptized, he has become more involved with coming alongside of other
disciples to evangelize! John Hendee, the founder of Project New Hope,
came to Ecuador to spend time with us and taught about “Dragon Slayers,”
how we can kill our sins. It was really special to worship our Lord
together. We also got to know each other more as we shared our
experiences. It was a pleasant surprise when we arrived at church to
find our wives there to greet us. Several men expressed how glad they
were that they went on this retreat. We pray that it will change their
lives and they will be transformed to become the men Jesus wants them to
be.
