The second week of July a team come down to work with us from Alabama. I got to work with this team last year and knew a few people on the team that came last year. Another member of the team was the Jr. High Youth Minister at my church for a few years. There were also a mother/daughter pair and mother/father/daughter family. So, it was a fun team to work with.

We spent the mornings and afternoons walking around Guano, a small town about 15 minutes from Riobamba, and praying over the city. We also stopped, shared and prayed with people we encountered as we walked. In the evenings we projected movies in the city hall. We showed “The Climb,” “Fireproof,”  and “Narnia:The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.”

My favorite part of the week was one afternoon when I took one of the men on the team and the 2 younger girls to pray in Riobamba. We went to the university where Language for the Nations was going to be held and prayer walked there. Then we went to visit a member of the church who was dealing with some of the same issues as the man who I took to visit him. It was a great picture of how the body of Christ should work together encouraging one another and building each other up.

Continue to pray for the city of Guano. Pray that those who have attended the Bible study there will be faithful to attend and that they will have a desire to grow and be used by God. Pray for the forces that are present in Guano to release their hold on the city so that it can become a city that glorifies our heavenly father.

Thank you prayer team!
