GREETINGS FROM ECUADOR!I just want to send a quick message to let you know that this morning we began the new training for our leaders to disciple the teens in our HopeZones.  Part of the training was to immediately go 

this afternoon to the HopeZones and lead a lesson in their communities.  The question to be answered by looking at various scriptures was:  What Story Am I A Part Of?
One of the best ways to measure if it was successful or not is by the responses of the students.  One of the participants, who is nearing her time to graduate high school but has no idea what she will be doing after her graduation, came out with this response:  I was confused and had no hope as I did not know what I was going to do after high school. But now I have hope as I know God has a plan for me.  How marvelous is that?!
I pray this encourages you as it did our team and me.  Thank you for your prayers and support.  God is doing great things here in our HopeZone communities.  Hopefully, I will have more time tomorrow to write more.  I will leave you with these few pictures.   See how engaged the students were in God’s Word!!
