CIN's Mission in Ecuador:
In Ecuador, CIN is supporting a ministry that is reaching out to native communities in the jungles of Ecuador. This ministry is bringing the Gospel to native people, while teaching and working with them to build schools, churches and provide assistance wherever needed.
This is one of the Missionary’s quotes in Ecuador: “It is a joy to report that the ministry continues to grow and we are now reaching out to new communities. Both schools that have already been built (with the help of your ministry) are in full function for the Glory of God and for the ministry of the young boys and girls. We have also finished building two churches and three more are currently under construction. There are still four communities in which we want to build churches and if God allows it, we will be building two more this coming year”.
