LIFT is worshiping the Lord in Ecuador. Last night LIFT had the opportunity to lead the worship service for one of the local churches in Chaco. They were able to lead the praise and worship time as well as a dance to go with the praise and worship. They performed a skit teaching biblical truth as well. Afterward they had a great time of fellowship as they enjoyed some sporting events with the local church members. Please pray that this time has been an encouragement to the local church.
Today some of the LIFTers will be sharing their testimonies at local churches. Please pray that God will use them to speak His Word and His message to the people of Chaco and the surrounding towns. Pray that God will be working in and through the LIFTers as they speak.
Today LIFT will also be involved in some work projects for local housing. Mold has become a problem and LIFT is going to provide the man power for the demolition and start the remodel. Some of the LIFTers will also have the opportunity to meet with a local Christian scouting group. This will be a great chance for them to share experiences at Tapawingo and Deerfoot. Together they will be able to talk about how God has worked to use His creation as a perfect avenue to teach children His Word. Thank you for your continued prayers for the trip; it is exciting to see how God has used willing hearts to share His Word.

The Lord is at work
God is at work in Ecuador. LIFT received a surprise invitation today to go to the public school in Chaco and work with the 7th grade English class. The LIFTers were able to interact with about 75 students during their time at the school. They taught them songs, played games, and shared what life was like in the US. It was a great experience that LIFT was not expecting but obviously God had been planning all along.
Yesterday LIFT worked with the extreme response day care. This is a day care for children whose parents are pulling recycling out of the city dump. The LIFTers were able to share skits that they had planned and spend some time with these precious children of God.
This afternoon LIFT will get a taste of a jungle hike. They are going out to cross the Quijos River on a cable crossing. Then they will climb the small Mountain on the other side of the river and have the chance to look back over Chaco. No doubt this will be a time to pray for the city that they are ministering to. Please join us in praying for the children and youth in the city of Chaco. Pray that their hearts will be open to the message of the gospel and that the Lord will work through the efforts of LIFT.
Tonight LIFT will be returning to an outreach program in a local village near Chaco. Join us in praying for receptive hearts and for the Lord to continue His work. Following the outreach they will be working on their skits to reach the youth in the surrounding area.
Thank you for your prayers, this has been a great trip and LIFT has been able to see the hand of God at work.
