Falling Wall
A wall by church, where the kids play during recess, is collapsing! The rain has caused the dirt to become very loose. It is a HUGE danger. The home that you see at the top of the wall is in danger of falling. To build a retaining wall will cost around $5,000. Please pray for the rain to stop so that the construction can begin and that God will provide the finances and workers.New Preschooler Photos
On Saturday I went to Santos Pamba and got to see the preschoolers. We sang songs and played games. They also each received a toy from a donor. We had a great morning together. I love being with them! Praise God it didn't rain. Tomorrow I am having a meeting with the teachers at my house. Please continue to pray for the preschool and that God will provide for the needs. Thank you! ONLY 1 MORE PRESCHOOLER NEEDS A SPONSOR!! Are you interested?

Rain, rain go away!
God is good, all the time. He never ceases to amaze me daily here in Quito. What a privilege it is to be a part of God’s work here. Here’s an update of what happened in March:
Santos Pamba Compassion Project Update: With the donated money, we are working on finishing painting the Compassion International house and are ordering tables to be made for the cafeteria. This Saturday the 5th I am going to Santos Pamba with the Architect and his team of workers. They are going to install donated kitchen cabinets, two toilets, and two sinks. They are also going to help finish painting! Pedro Pablo recently talked to the Compassion International representative about our site and said that they are going to visit within the next two weeks! Be praying! There are still many things to do before the program can run smoothly- buying utensils for the kitchen to cook the food, plates, etc., getting chairs and tables in all of the rooms for homework help centers, building shelves for a pantry, etc. The congregation of Santos Pamba church is very dedicated to this project, and knows that with the support of Compassion International, the future generation of children in this community will be impacted for Christ! Please continue to pray for the work in Santos Pamba and the Compassion International visit.
Preschool Update: Things are going very in the preschool. The teachers, Amanda and Mari, continue to be very dedicated to teaching and being examples of Christ to the 21 preschoolers. Finances are tight daily, but God is providing. I am still in need of 5 MORE SPONSORS for the education of 5 preschoolers this year. Please let me know if you are interested. Many of the preschoolers have been sick with colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia due to the cold, rainy weather right now. Please pray for health for them.
Karlita Update: Sadly, I have no update on Karlita. I have no way of communicating with her family because they do not have a phone in their home, and their cell phones were robbed. I have no idea what happened with the debt they owed to the hospital from her care in February. The social worker from the hospital that has been working with me can not get in touch with her family either. Please continue to pray for Karlita’s health and her family.
Ecuador update: The weather has been very harsh here. It will not stop raining. On the coast, there is flooding. Many people have lost everything they own, crops have been destroyed, and now sicknesses are spreading due to standing water. Here in Quito, the rain has caused landslides and rivers to overflow. On Monday a river overflowed and caused a main road to collapse. School has been cancelled for the past two days. Please pray for the rain to stop and for the many lives that have been affected by this weather. Thank you!
Quick summary of praises and prayer requests:
Praises:
-God's continued provision and faithfulness
-Health- my voice is back and cold is gone!
Prayer Requests:
-Compassion International visit to Santos Pamba
-Rain to stop and quick recovery
-for 5 more sponsors for the preschoolers
Thank you for your constant support and prayers. I appreciate them very much. Thank you for being a part of my ministry here and for joining with me. May the Lord continue to bless each of you!
