Ecuador STT 2013 - Preparations

It's beginning!

Westover's 2013 short term trip to Ecuador is in the beginning phases of preparation. Here are some details to get everyone acquainted with our team, our planning, and our goals.
  • Where: Ecuador (Quito, the capital, and Shandia, a jungle town)
  • When: July 29-August 8
  • Who: Brian (leader) & Marsha Jordan; Greg & Carol Smith, Chandler, Gracyn, Landon; Nate & Rachel Humphries; Carl Snyder; Nancy Eades
  • What: This trip will be a partnership with Ryan and Erica Coryell, who are with the ministry Youth World, and the youth from a local Ecuadorian church. The first half of the trip will be spent assisting with the preparation for the building of cabins around a seminary in the jungle town of Shandia. These cabins will provide a place for pastors to stay while receiving training at the seminary before they go back out into the jungle to share the good news of the gospel with isolated villages. The second half of the trip will be spent assisting the camp El Refugio, where Ryan and Erica are based, helping with work projects.
Right now our team is in the planning phase: gathering details, learning about Ecuador, and growing closer as a team.

We would appreciate your prayers, not only for our planning, but for God's work to be done on this trip as well.

Thanks!
